Comparison

How It Compares

Within the oxide oxygen-evolution catalysts class.

Unlike the highly stable and widely utilized LiCoO2 or the common perovskite LaMnO3, TlCoO3 is characterized by its metastable state, which distinguishes it from more robust members of the oxide catalyst family like NiO or BiFeO3.
