Abstract

Researchers conduct a case study of SrCoO₃ for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using in operando self-healing of perovskite electrocatalysts. The researchers establish a connection between the high surface oxygen vacancy concentration and these peaks by proposing a self-healing mechanism. They show that water molecules adsorbing on the surface can dissociate to O that can fill the vacancy sites at sub-OER onset voltages. Oxygen atoms can then migrate to fill vacancies deeper into the material, providing an electrochemical annealing mechanism for self-healing of the perovskite structure in the vicinity of the surface at voltages less than the onset of full OER to liberate O₂ molecules.
