Abstract

Abstract : Iridium‐based cubic nanocages were fabricated with a composition of Ir44 Pd10, together with well‐defined {100} facets, and porous walls of only 1.1 nm in thickness, as reported by Y. Xia and co‐workers in their Communication on page 7244. When applied as a catalyst toward water oxidation, the nanocages show substantially enhanced activity and durability, outperforming most of the electrocatalysts reported for use in acidic media.
