A bio-inspired O₂ sensitive nickel catalyst dispersed in a hydrophobic and redox-silent polymer matrix shows enhanced stability for catalytic H₂ oxidation as well as O₂ tolerance. A simple but efficient electrode design separates the catalyst into two different reaction layers to promote different reactivity on the catalyst. (1) close to the electrode surface, the catalyst can directly exchange electrons with the electrode and generate current from H₂ oxidation; and (2) at the outer film boundary, the electrolyte exposed layer is electrically isolated from the electrode, which enables the H₂ reduced Ni-complex to convert O₂ to H₂O and thus provides protection to the O₂-sensitive inner reaction layer. This strategy solves one of the biggest limitations of these otherwise outstanding catalysts and could be used to protect other similar catalysts whose wider application is currently limited by sensitivity towards oxygen.
