Single phase pyrochlore-type Y2Ir2O7 electrocatalyst was made through the sol-gel synthesis. This catalyst has high activity and stability towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid. Here, chronopotentiometry analysis showed no obvious change in overpotential for more than 24 h measurement at 10 mA/cm2geo. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) demonstrates that the single electron filling in e" orbital of Ir 5d states, induced by the spin-orbital coupling, could contribute to the improved OER activity.
