High throughput identification of complex rutile alloys for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction

Abstract

Efficient and durable catalysis of the oxygen evolution reaction in acidic media remains a grand challenge at the intersection of electrochemistry and materials discovery. Antimony-based rutile oxides have shown great promise but suffer from poor durability at high concentration of activity-promoting elements such as Mn. We use combinatorial methods to realize a new family of catalysts wherein combinations of Sn, Ti, and Sb enable activity in rutile oxides with Mn concentration less than 40%.
