Regulating the Spin State of Fe III Enhances the Magnetic Effect of the Molecular Catalysis Mechanism
Beijing Normal University · Inner Mongolia University
Abstract
Aqueous-phase oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the bottleneck of water splitting. The formation of the O–O bond involves the generation of paramagnetic oxygen molecules from the diamagnetic hydroxides. The spin configurations might play an important role in aqueous-phase molecular electrocatalysis. However, spintronic electrocatalysis is almost an uncultivated land for the exploration of the oxygen molecular catalysis process. Herein, we present a novel magnetic FeIII site spin-splitting strategy, wherein the electronic structure and spin states of the FeIII sites are effectively induced and optimized by the Jahn–Teller effect of Cu2+. The theoretical calculations and operando attenuated total…
