The introduction of A-site substitution and controlled morphological engineering in perovskite structures has proven effective in enhancing the electrical conductivity and intrinsic catalytic activity. Nevertheless, the conventional A-site substitution approach often involves prolonged high-temperature calcination, leading to the agglomeration of nanostructures, particularly in two-dimensional (2D) porous configurations.

By conducting theoretical simulations of the electron configuration and analysis of crystal structure, we unveil the impact of Sr substitution on the OER activity of 2D porous LaFeO₃.
