Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for DyNiO3, 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 group of oxygen-evolution catalysts, DyNiO3 occupies a distinct position compared to structural counterparts like LaNiO3. While both share the nickelate framework, the inclusion of dysprosium influences its structural stability and electronic behavior differently than the more common lanthanum-based variants or simple binary oxides like NiO.
