Surface oxidation/spin state determines oxygen evolution reaction activity of cobalt-based catalysts in acidic environment

Abstract Co-based catalysts are promising candidates to replace Ir/Ru-based oxides for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis in an acidic environment. However, both the reaction mechanism and the active species under acidic conditions remain unclear. In this study, by combining surface-sensitive...
