Understanding the sulphur-oxygen exchange process of metal sulphides prior to oxygen evolution reaction
Abstract
Dynamic reconstruction of metal sulphides during electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction is a key aspect of study. Herein, modelling on a series of cobalt-nickel bimetallic sulphides, the authors reveal a dynamic phase evaluation pathway and the S-O substitution process occurring on the catalytic surface at the pre-catalytic stage.
