Key Points

The aim is to enhance the performance of cobalt-based catalysts in the oxygen evolution reaction by incorporating zinc.
Uniform incorporation of zinc into cobalt oxide sites
Evaluation of electrocatalytic activity under alkaline conditions
Zn incorporation improved the intrinsic performance of CoOx sites
Enhanced electrocatalytic activity observed for the oxygen evolution reaction

Implication

Demonstrates enhanced oxygen evolution in cobalt catalysts with zinc incorporation, suggesting new pathways for electrocatalysis.

Abstract

Cobalt-based catalysts have shown activity in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions, yet enhancing the intrinsic performance of CoOx sites remains challenging. Herein, Zn was uniformly incorporated into...
