Abstract

A water oxidation catalyst generated via electrodeposition from aqueous solutions containing phosphate and Co(2+) (Co-Pi) has been studied by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Spectra were obtained for Co-Pi films of two different thicknesses at an applied potential supporting water oxidation catalysis and at open circuit. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra indicate the presence of bis-oxo/hydroxo-bridged Co subunits incorporated into higher nuclearity clusters in Co-Pi. The average cluster nuclearity is greater in a relatively thick film (∼40-50 nmol Co ions/cm(2)) deposited at 1.25 V vs NHE than in an extremely thin film (∼3 nmol Co ions/cm(2)) deposited at 1.1 V. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra and electrochemical data support a Co valency greater than 3 for both Co-Pi samples when catalyzing water oxidation at 1.25 V. Upon switching to open circuit, Co-Pi undergoes a continuous reduction due to residual water oxidation catalysis, as indicated by the negative shift of the edge energy. The rate of reduction depends on the average cluster size. On the basis of structural parameters extracted from fits to the EXAFS data of Co-Pi with two different thicknesses and comparisons with EXAFS spectra of Co oxide compounds, a model is proposed wherein the Co oxo/hydroxo clusters of Co-Pi are composed of edge-sharing CoO(6) octahedra, the structural motif found in cobaltates. Whereas cobaltates contain extended planes of CoO(6) octahedra, the Co-Pi clusters are of molecular dimensions.

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.
