Key Points

This research investigates how boron doping affects the oxygen evolution reaction in cobalt oxysulfide catalysts.
Incorporated boron into cobalt oxysulfide to create a boron-doped catalyst
Evaluated the performance of the catalyst in 1.0 M KOH
Measured charge redistribution and hydroxide adsorption properties
Achieved an oxygen evolution rate of 10 mA cm -2 at 189 mV
Observed significant charge redistribution in the boron-doped catalyst
Enhanced cooperative hydroxide adsorption noted in experiments

Implication

Research demonstrates enhanced oxygen evolution in cobalt oxysulfide with boron incorporation, suggesting new catalyst designs.

Abstract

Lewis-acidic boron incorporation into amorphous cobalt oxysulfide drives charge redistribution and cooperative hydroxide adsorption.The boron-doped catalyst promotes oxygen-evolution, reaching 10 mA cm -2 at 189 mV in 1.0 M KOH...
