Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for AcFeO3, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.

How It Compares
Within the oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts class.
Within the diverse family of oxygen-evolution catalysts, AcFeO3 distinguishes itself from transition-metal-only counterparts like NiO or LaMnO3 by incorporating actinide chemistry. While compounds such as BiFeO3 share similar perovskite-like structural motifs, the presence of actinium provides a unique electronic environment that differentiates its catalytic potential from more conventional oxides like LiCoO2 or LaNiO3.
