Journal ArticleDOI

Toward the rational design of non-precious transition metal oxides for oxygen electrocatalysis

TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art understanding of non-precious transition metal oxides that catalyze the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions is discussed, with an outlook on the opportunities in future research within this rapidly developing field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activating lattice oxygen redox reactions in metal oxides to catalyse oxygen evolution

TL;DR: Using in situ 18O isotope labelling mass spectrometry, direct experimental evidence is provided that the O2 generated during the OER on some highly active oxides can come from lattice oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double perovskites as a family of highly active catalysts for oxygen evolution in alkaline solution.

TL;DR: The versatility of the perovskite structure is exploited to search for oxide catalysts that are both active and stable and can be explained by having the O p-band centre neither too close nor too far from the Fermi level, which is computed from ab initio studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anionic redox processes for electrochemical devices.

TL;DR: Understanding and controlling anionic redox processes is pivotal for the design of new Li-ion battery and water-splitting materials and will help improve the quality of existing and new lithium-ion batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charge-transfer-energy-dependent oxygen evolution reaction mechanisms for perovskite oxides

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use soft X-ray emission and absorption spectroscopy of perovskites to analyze the partial density of states on an absolute energy scale, from which energetic barriers for electron transfer and surface deprotonation were estimated and correlated with OER activity.
