Erbium-doped electrocatalyst enhances oxygen evolution reactions in acidic environments

This article discusses the development of an erbium-doped cobalt oxide (Co₃O₄) electrocatalyst that significantly enhances the efficiency of oxygen evolution reactions (OER) in acidic environments. By incorporating a small percentage (4%) of erbium into the catalyst, the research team achieved a notable reduction in the overpotential, improving both the performance and stability of the catalyst over long durations. This advancement could have significant implications for technologies like water splitting, which are critical for renewable energy production and green hydrogen development.
