Kurzfassung:
The sluggish kinetics of oxygen electrocatalysis and the resulting high overpotentials necessary to achieve useful current densities limit the development of promising technologies, such as fuel cells, water, and carbon dioxide electrolyzers, and metal-oxygen batteries. 1 The best catalysts for both the oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions (ORR and OER, respectively) are based on precious, platinum group metals (PGMs), such as platinum and iridium, leading to limitations in the cost-effective implementation of these technologies. 2,3 The development of alternative catalysts, with comparable or higher activity and durability to the PGM catalysts and derived from earth-abundant materials has thus been an active research area for decades. Incredible progress has been made in developing PGM-free electrocatalysts for the OER in alkaline environments, with perovskite oxides showing activities comparable to PGM-based catalysts. 4,5 Perovskite oxides are a very broad class of materials with the general formula of ABO 3 , where the B site is occupied by smaller transition metal ions and the A site by larger cations which have 12-fold coordination with O. 4 Both the A sites and B sites can be occupied by multiple metal ions, leading to an even more expansive design space for this class of materials. Another interesting class of catalysts is Fe and Ni oxides derived from the electrochemical oxidation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with the advantages of this material over the perovskites being high electronic conductivity and high surface area. This presentation will describe the development and application of a high-throughput methodology to accelerate the exploration of the effects of composition and synthesis parameters on the activity of perovskite oxide and metal-organic framework-derived alkaline electrolyte OER catalysts. The evolution of the oxidation state and atomic structure of the MOF materials in the electrochemical environment, as determined using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), as well as the evolution of the morphology of the catalyst, as determined using electron microscopy, will be described.
