A perovskite oxide optimized for oxygen evolution catalysis from molecular orbital principles.

TL;DR: The high activity of BSCF was predicted from a design principle established by systematic examination of more than 10 transition metal oxides, which showed that the intrinsic OER activity exhibits a volcano-shaped dependence on the occupancy of the 3d electron with an eg symmetry of surface transition metal cations in an oxide.

Benchmarking Hydrogen Evolving Reaction and Oxygen Evolving Reaction Electrocatalysts for Solar Water Splitting Devices

TL;DR: A standard protocol is used as a primary screen for evaluating the activity, short-term (2 h) stability, and electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of 18 and 26 electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER and OER) under conditions relevant to an integrated solar water-splitting device in aqueous acidic or alkaline solution.

An Advanced Ni–Fe Layered Double Hydroxide Electrocatalyst for Water Oxidation

TL;DR: The synthesis of ultrathin nickel-iron layered double hydroxide nanoplates on mildly oxidized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) induced the formation of NiFe-LDH, which exhibits higher electrocatalytic activity and stability for oxygen evolution than commercial precious metal Ir catalysts.

On the Theory of Oxidation‐Reduction Reactions Involving Electron Transfer. I

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism for electron transfer reactions is described, in which there is very little spatial overlap of the electronic orbitals of the two reacting molecules in the activated complex, and a quantitative theory of the rates of oxidation reduction reactions involving electron transfer in solution is presented.
