Modulation of the Electronic Properties of Co₃O₄ through Bi Octahedral Doping for Enhanced Activity in the Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Developing a highly active and stable electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for efficient hydrogen production through anion exchange membrane water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in designing electrocatalysts based on their work function optimization. The insights into the materials' electronic properties gained from developing other heterogeneous catalysts, such as those used for N₂O decomposition, can be thus leveraged to enhance the performance of the OER electrocatalysts. Knowing that Bi enhances the catalytic activity of Co₃O₄ in N₂O decomposition, where the surface electronic properties play a crucial role, we hypothesized that it might also improve t
