Engineering High‐Spin State Cobalt Cations in Spinel Zinc Cobalt Oxide for Spin Channel Propagation and Active Site Enhancement in Water Oxidation
Abstract
Spinel zinc cobalt oxide (ZnCo 2 O 4) is not considered as a superior catalyst for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is the bottleneck reaction in water‐electrolysis. Herein, taking advantage of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we find that the existence of low‐spin (LS) state cobalt cations hinders the OER activity of spinel zinc cobalt oxide, as the t 2g6 e g0 configuration gives rise to purely localized electronic structure and exhibits poor binding affinity to the key reaction intermediate. Increasing the spin state of cobalt cations in spinel ZnCo 2 O 4 is found to propagate a spin channel to promote spin‐selected charge transport during OER and generate better active sites for intermediates adsorption. The experiments find increasing the calcination temperature a facile approach to engineer high‐spin (HS) state cobalt cations in ZnCo 2 O 4, while not working for Co 3 O 4. The activity of the best spin‐state‐engineered ZnCo 2 O 4 outperforms other typical Co‐based oxides.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
