Breaking scaling relations in electrocatalysis
Justus Masa, Wolfgang Schuhmann
Abstract
As the most important “future tasks of electrochemical research”, the design of new multinary catalysts using tools of data-driven high-throughput material discovery is suggested. However, the catalyst with the highest intrinsic activity which is converting its substrate close to the thermodynamic prediction by breaking the scaling relation needs to be simultaneously highly selective and most importantly very stable to be successfully applied in technological processes.
