Engineering electrocatalytic activity in nanosized perovskite cobaltite through surface spin-state transition

The activity of electrocatalysts exhibits a strong dependence on their electronic structures. Here, the authors manipulate the eg filling of perovskite cobaltite LaCoO3nanoparticles by changing particle size and show improved oxygen evolution activity with increased numbers of surface high-spin coba...

Description
Summary:The activity of electrocatalysts exhibits a strong dependence on their electronic structures. Here, the authors manipulate the eg filling of perovskite cobaltite LaCoO3nanoparticles by changing particle size and show improved oxygen evolution activity with increased numbers of surface high-spin cobalt ions.
