Realizing high and stable electrocatalytic oxygen evolution for iron-based perovskites by co-doping-induced structural and electronic modulation by She, Sixuan, Zhu, Yinlong, Wu, Xinhao, Hu, Zhiwei, Shelke, Abhijeet, Pong, Way-Faung, Chen, Yubo, Song, Yufei, Liang, Mingzhuang, Chen, Chien-Te, Wang, Huanting, Zhou, Wei, Shao, Zongping

“…The increased activity and stability of SCFN can be ascribed to co-doping-induced synergistic promotion between structural and electronic modulation, where Ce doping facilitates the formation of a 3D corner-sharing cubic structure and Ni doping gives rise to strong electronic interactions between active sites, which is key to achieving a highly active long-life catalyst. Importantly, this strategy is universal and can be extended to other Fe-based parent perovskite oxides with high structural diversity.…”
