The study aims to investigate how the characteristics of the metal-oxygen bond influence whether an oxide or hydroxide functions better as a charge-storage medium or an electrocatalyst.
Analysis of the metal-oxygen bond structure in various oxides and hydroxides
Comparison of charge-storage capacities and electrocatalytic efficiencies
Evaluation of electronic factors influencing M-O bond behavior
Stronger metal-oxygen bonds favor electrocatalytic activity over charge storage
Weaker bonds enhance charge-storage capabilities in certain materials
Multiple oxides demonstrate distinct behaviors based on their bonding characteristics
Abstract
The nature of the metal-oxygen (M-O) bond is a key electronic factor that decides if an oxide/hydroxide serves as a charge-storage medium or an electrocatalyst. When the M-O bond is...
