Catalyst or Precatalyst? The Effect of Oxidation on Transition Metal Carbide, Pnictide, and Chalcogenide Oxygen Evolution Catalysts
Abstract
Metal chalcogenides, pnictides, and carbides, labeled collectively as metal X-ides, have become an exciting new class of water oxidation electrocatalysts, but there is a lack of agreement regarding the composition of the “true” catalyst. The most prominent theories are that the X-ides are either completely oxidized, left unoxidized, or transformed into core@shell particles upon testing. Here, we examine examples of each conjecture, summarizing the conflicting viewpoints on catalyst identity and offering guidelines for more rigorous identification in the future. Most studies indicate that at least partial oxidation of the catalyst surface is critical to high performance, likely caused by an increased catalyst surface area upon oxidation or improved charge transfer in the X-ide cores. Therefore, more thorough and uniform long-term testing and nanoscale chemical analysis are essential to determine how these factors relate to catalyst performance.

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.
