Lanthanum based electrocatalytically active perovskites, LaMO3 (M=Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni), were synthesized using a single step solution combustion synthesis technique. The perovskites showed exceptional performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline medium. Based on the experimental results and literature survey, it is suggested that the exceptional activity of Mn and Co based lanthanum perovskite catalyst could be due to the optimum stabilization of reaction intermediates involved in the rate-determining step (RDS) of ORR/OER. According to crystal field theory (CFT), the d-orbital of transition metals are affected by the octahedral arrangement of six negative charges around it. The d orbital degenerates by splitting into two high energy (eg) and three lower energy orbitals (t2g) while maintaining the same average energy level. The rate-determining step in the ORR/OER reaction that based on the eg orbital filling of B site transition metal cations If the d-electrons are less, the valence state goes up and lowering the eg orbital filling that results in strong adsorption of oxygenated species on the B site (strong B-OH bond). This strong bonding limits the overall reaction rate by the slow desorption of OH and its derivatives during ORR/OER. Similarly, too high eg filling causes weak adsorption of oxygenated species that limits the reaction through the slow adsorption of reactants. Therefore, to enhance the activity of ORR/OER reaction it is required to balance the adsorption and desorption of the reactants and the intermediate respectively. The better way is to optimize the eg orbital filling to be nearly 1 (eg = 1).Based on the experimental results and literature survey, it is suggested that the exceptional activity of Mn and Co based lanthanum perovskite catalyst could be due to the optimum stabilization of reaction intermediates involved in the rate-determining step (RDS) of ORR and OER.

Abstract Transition metal oxide thin film has recently become an attractive platform for enhanced catalytic activity and to perceive the fundamental functions of d electron structure and charge transfer processes. Owing to the long-range lattice ordering and accurate stoichiometry, the single-crystalline transition metal oxide thin film enables the mechanism discussion of electrochemistry down to the atomic level. However, it is technically unviable in the fabrication of transition metal oxide thin film with a substantial surface area and strain condition. Here we report the oxygen evolution reaction enhancement by a stack of multilayer SrRuO3 featured with single-crystallinity, flexibility, and stackability, which was achieved from the rigid heterostructure via a water-dissolution of Sr3Al2O6 sacrifice interlayers. The controllable stack of multilayer SrRuO3 and the emergent high-spin state t2g(3↑)eg(1↑) of Ru efficiently enhances the oxygen evolution reaction activity. Our study provides an approach for fine manipulation of single-crystalline freestanding transition metal oxide morphologically, and an efficient strategy aiming at the extreme enhancement of the electrochemically active surface area and strain condition.
