主　　题：Electrocatalysis Single-Atom Catalysis Self-Optimization Oxygen Evolution 

摘      要：The demand for clean and sustainable energy has encouraged the production of hydrogen from water *** overcome the obstacle to improving the efficiency of water electrolyzers,it is highly desired to fabricate active electrocatalysts for the sluggish oxygen evolution ***,there is generally an intrinsic gap between the as-prepared and real electrocatalysts due to structure evolution under the oxidative reaction ***,we combine in-situ anionic leaching and atomic deposition to realize single-atom catalysts with self-optimized *** introduced F ions facilitate structural transformation from Co(OH)xF into CoOOH(F),which generates an amorphous edge surface to provide more anchoring sites for Ir single ***,the in-situ anionic leaching of F ions elevates the Co valence state of Ir_(1)/CoOOH(F)more significantly than the counterpart without F ions(Ir_(1)/CoOOH),leading to stronger adsorption of oxygenated *** revealed by electrochemical measurements,the increased Ir loading together with the favored adsorption of*OH intermediates improve the catalytic activity of Ir_(1)/CoOOH(F).Specifically,Ir_(1)/CoOOH(F)delivered a current density of 10 mA cm-2at an overpotential of 238 mV,being lower than 314 mV for Ir_(1)/*** results demonstrated the facility of the in-situ optimization process to optimize catalyst structure for improved performance.
