Unifying Scaling Relations and Multiple Reaction Mechanisms for Screening Transition Metal‐Doped Co3O4 for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 26, 22 June 2026.
Doped Co3O4 climbs a mechanistic volcano: transition‐metal substitution reshapes the OER activity landscape, while multiple competing reaction mechanisms govern the volcano trends across different dopants. ABSTRACT Accelerating the discovery of oxygen‐evolution reaction (OER) catalysts requires high‐throughput screening strategies combining descriptor ...
