Merged summary

TL;DR - Researchers developed a trigonal Co₃O₄ electrocatalyst with edge-shared octahedral coordination that improves acidic oxygen evolution performance. It combines lower overpotential with reduced cobalt dissolution compared with spinel Co₃O₄.

  • Produced via a vacuum-mediated molten-alkali mechanochemical method.
  • Features a new trigonal phase rather than the conventional spinel structure.
  • Achieves lower overpotential during acidic oxygen evolution.
  • Reduces cobalt dissolution, indicating improved catalyst stability.
