Proton-exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEMELs) represent an efficient solution for converting water to “green” hydrogen. To enhance the profitability of PEMEL utilization, there is a need to reduce an iridium loading at the anode. In this study, we propose a simple one-pot wet synthesis for obtaining an IrPtRu catalyst with an iridium content of less than 60 wt%. The structure of the obtained trimetallic catalyst has thoroughly been investigated using various microscopy techniques (SEI, TEM, HRTEM, STEM, HAADF-STEM, and EDX). In addition, we have studied the surface chemical composition by XPS. The alloy catalyst is characterized by a uniform distribution of metal components, a narrow particle size dispersion, and a smaller nanoparticle size. The morphology of the synthesized material provides 1.9 times higher mass activity (A/gIr) in the oxygen evolution reaction at E = 1.53 V compared to the commercial iridium black, with an overpotential of 306 mV vs. 321 mV, respectively. Our study highlights the prospects of using trimetallic catalysts to enhance the efficiency of oxygen evolution reactions and reduce the consumption of rare metals.
