Electronic properties of double-atom catalysts for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline solution: a DFT study

Chunhua Yang et al.

Summary: The study investigates the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of dual transition metal atom (2TM) nitrogen-decorated graphene in alkaline solution, showing that CoNi-N(PA)G and CoNi-N(P)G-O exhibit higher OER activity compared to state-of-the-art RuO2. Different nitrogen coordinations play a crucial role in the electrocatalytic process of CoNi-NG, and the electronic properties of the catalytic site of CoNi-N(PA)G and CoNi-N(P)G-O contribute to their excellent OER performance, making them the best among all CoNi-NG materials.
