The electrochemical symmetries of the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions are connected
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) display sizable overpotentials, even for active state-of-the-art catalysts. This hurdles the technoeconomic viability of a number of electrochemical technologies such as low-temperature hydrogen fuel cells, water and CO2 electrolyzers, regenerative fuel cells, and some metal-air batteries. While adsorption-energy scaling relations have been associated with the large OER/ORR overpotentials, their breaking does not ensure enhanced activities. Alternatively, electrochemical symmetry is connected to the OER overpotential. Herein, we derive a formula connecting the OER electrochemical symmetry with that of the ORR. The formula explains the distinct trends arising when and are correlated, and the slopes are defined by the number of reaction steps above the equilibrium potential. Furthermore, we use a dataset of 168 materials including various families of electrocatalysts to statistically extract joint OER/ORR activity trends in simple terms.
期刊介绍:
Electrochimica Acta is an international journal. It is intended for the publication of both original work and reviews in the field of electrochemistry. Electrochemistry should be interpreted to mean any of the research fields covered by the Divisions of the International Society of Electrochemistry listed below, as well as emerging scientific domains covered by ISE New Topics Committee.
