Iron oxyfluoride · Iron(III) oxyfluoride
FeOF is a semiconducting iron oxyfluoride material studied for its potential role as a catalyst in oxygen-evolution reactions.
About Iron oxyfluoride
FeOF is a semiconducting oxyfluoride that functions within the class of oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts. Its unique composition, integrating both oxygen and fluorine anions with iron, positions it as a structurally intriguing material for catalytic research and energy storage investigations.
As a near-hull stable compound, FeOF is considered a viable candidate for experimental synthesis and characterization. Its electronic properties and structural flexibility make it a compelling subject for researchers exploring alternative catalysts that move beyond traditional pure oxide frameworks.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Iron oxyfluoride, 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.

How It Compares
Within the oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts class.
Within the broader family of oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts, FeOF occupies a distinct niche compared to well-established transition metal oxides like NiO or complex perovskites such as LaMnO3. While many of its class members rely on purely oxide-based lattices, the inclusion of fluorine in FeOF alters its electronic environment, offering a different pathway for catalytic activity compared to the more conventional lithium-based intercalation materials like LiCoO2.
