A stable and efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst in acidic medium is strongly required for the industrialization of polymer electrolyte membrane water splitting (PEMWS) technology. Herein, we devise the formation of nanoneedle-like RuO₂/V₂O₅ heterostructure with the template of MIL 88B. The incorporation of V₂O₅ to RuO₂ significantly increases the deprotonation capability resulting in a better OER performance demanding 216 mV overpotential at 10 mA/cm², lowered by 27 mV with relative to benchmarked RuO₂. Moreover, the electronic interplay between RuO₂ and V₂O₅ contributes to an increment in oxidation of Ru to high valance state; thereby, a robust stability is achieved for RuO₂/V₂O₅. From the theoretical calculation, it is noticed that the d band center of Ru is downshifted after V₂O₅ decoration; moreover, the e_g filling of Ru is simultaneously increased; in this regard, the adsorption of OH* specie is weakened, in accordance to methanol detection, resulting in a higher OER performance.
