Abstract The development of efficient and stable water oxidation catalysts is necessary for the realization practically viable water-splitting systems. Although extensive studies have focused on metal-oxide catalysts, effect metal coordination catalytic ability remains still elusive.

Electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added products offers a new paradigm for sustainable carbon economy. For active electrolysis, the single-atom Ni catalyst has been proposed as promising from experiments, but an idealized Ni–N4 site shows unfavorable energetics theory, leading to many debates on chemical nature responsible high activity. To resolve this conundrum, here we investigated electrolysis sites with well-defined coordination, tetraphenylporphyrin (N4–TPP) and...

Abstract The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is considered a major bottleneck in the overall water electrolysis process. In this work, highly active manganese oxide nano-catalysts were synthesized via hot injection. Facile surface treatment generated Mn(III) species on monodisperse 10 nm MnO nanocrystals (NCs). Size dependency of NCs OER activity was also investigated. Surprisingly, partially oxidized only required 530 mV @ 5 mA cm −2 under near neutral conditions.
