The proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) water-splitting electrolyser is a highly appealing technology for economical hydrogen production. Unfortunately, only Iridium (Ir)-based electrocatalysts show efficient and stable activity towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic medium, which seriously hampers the large-scale utilization of PEM water splitting electrolyser as a result of high cost and scarcity of the Ir. Here, we report synthesis of Ir nanoparticles on 3D graphite foam (Ir/GF) upon a heat treatment of Ir3+/polyaniline complex that were beforehand prepared on the GF. Benefiting from low content of Ir (5.91 wt%) and excellent resistance of 3D graphite foam against oxidative corrosion, the resultant Ir/GF functionalizes as a novel bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting in a 0.5 M H
