MnOF
MnOF is a metastable semiconducting oxyfluoride material investigated for its potential utility as an oxygen-evolution catalyst.
About MnOF
MnOF is a semiconducting oxyfluoride that functions within the broader category of oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts. Its unique chemical composition, incorporating both oxygen and fluorine anions, provides a distinct structural framework that influences its catalytic behavior in electrochemical environments. As a metastable material, it represents a specialized phase that requires careful synthesis control. Its electronic character makes it an intriguing candidate for research into surface-active materials designed to facilitate complex redox reactions in energy conversion systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for MnOF, 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 landscape of oxygen-evolution catalysts, MnOF occupies a niche position compared to more conventional transition metal oxides like NiO or complex perovskites such as LaMnO3. While many of its siblings are highly stable, well-characterized oxides, MnOF stands out due to its metastable nature and the inclusion of fluorine, which alters its electronic landscape relative to standard binary or ternary oxides like LiMn2O4.
