Bifunctional Oxygen Reaction Catalysis of Quadruple Manganese Perovskites

Abstract

Bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution/reduction reaction (OER/ORR) are desirable for the development of energy conversion technologies. It is discovered that the manganese quadruple perovskites CaMn7O12 and LaMn7O12 show bifunctional catalysis in the OER/ORR. A possible origin of the high OER activity is the unique surface structure through corner-shared planar MnO4 and octahedral MnO6 units to promote direct OO bond formations.
