Ray of light: In-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy methods for electrochemical tests have been developed to follow the changes of electron configurations and geometric local structures of metal oxides during electrocatalysis. This Minireview gives a brief introduction to recent progress in understanding catalytic mechanisms of perovskite and pyrochlore oxides by using this method.
Abstract
Metal oxides are some of the most promising candidates as electrocatalysts for electrical-energy-storage (EES) systems. Particularly, perovskite and pyrochlore oxides have been intensively investigated as bifunctional electrocatalysts because of their superior catalytic activities during the oxygen-reduction and -evolution reactions. However, the origin of the outstanding catalytic activities and structural changes of the materials are not clear, in part due to the difficulty in identification during electrocatalysis. In this Minireview, we present a critical overview of recent progress in understanding catalytic mechanisms of perovskite and pyrochlore oxides, highlighting the innovative in-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis for electrochemical tests.
