A general but still unknown characteristic of active oxygen evolution electrocatalysts
Eleonora Romeo, Francesc Illas, Federico Calle‐Vallejo
Abstract
A common feature of active catalysts for oxygen evolution is that three of their four electrochemical steps are over 1.23 eV. This evidences that “electrochemical symmetry” is a good criterion to design enhanced OER catalysts.
