title: Oxygen-Containing Amorphous Cobalt Sulfide Porous Nanocubes as High-Activity Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction in an Alkaline/Neutral Medium.
abstract: A novel OER electrocatalyst, namely oxygen-incorporated amorphous cobalt sulfide porous nanocubes (A-CoS4.6O0.6PNCs), show advantages over the benchmark RuO2catalyst in alkaline/neutral medium. Experiments combining with calculation demonstrate that the desirable O* adsorption energy, associated with the distorted CoS4.6O0.6octahedron structure and the oxygen doping, contribute synergistically to the outstanding electrocatalytic activity.
