Accelerated discovery of new catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction by Mahmoud G. Ahmed

“…Using a combination of soft-X-ray absorption spectroscopy (sXAS) and electrochemical measurements, Co2+ and Mn3+ in different geometric sites, tetrahedral (Td) and octahedral (Oh) sites, are found to be the main active sites. Fe3+ ion is found to significantly affect the catalytic activity by the confinement of more Co2+ in tetrahedral sites. …”
