Abstract Developing cost effective electrocatalysts with high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity is essential for large‐scale application of many electrochemical energy systems. Although the impacts either lattice strain or defects on OER performance oxide catalysts have been extensively investigated, effects both factors are normally treated separately. In this work, coupled and deficiency electrocatalytic La 0.7 Sr 0.3 CoO 3−δ (LSC) thin films grown single crystal substrates (LaAlO3...

Abstract Developing highly efficient and cost-effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is critical for many energy devices. While regulating the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process via introducing additive into system has been reported effective in promoting OER activity, controlling PCET by tuning intrinsic material properties remains a challenging task. In this work, we take double perovskite oxide PrBa 0.5 Sr Co 1.5 Fe O 5+δ (PBSCF) as model to demonstrate...

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) has attracted great attention as an effective technique for oxidatively decomposing organic pollutants. The PMS activation mechanisms, nevertheless, are still ambiguous in many cases, and, thus, controlling pathways efficient pollutant removal remains challenging. In this work, taking defective PrBa0.5Sr0.5Co1.5Fe0.5O5+δ (PBSCF) a model system, we demonstrate that oxygen vacancies (Vo••) strongly promote PMS-based AOP, and...
