How It Compares
Within the oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts class.
Within the broader family of oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts, Co2OF3 stands out as a less conventional, metastable alternative to well-established materials like LiCoO2 or LaMnO3. While many of its siblings rely on standard oxide lattices to drive catalytic activity, the inclusion of fluorine in the Co2OF3 framework modifies its electronic landscape, providing a different pathway for oxygen evolution compared to the more traditional perovskite-based structures like LaNiO3.
