How is the Performance of OER Catalysts Evaluated?
The performance of OER catalysts is typically evaluated based on several criteria, including:
Overpotential: The potential above the thermodynamic requirement needed to drive the reaction. Tafel Slope: A measure of the reaction kinetics, indicating how the overpotential changes with current density. Stability: Longevity of the catalyst under operational conditions. Faradaic Efficiency: The efficiency at which electrons are transferred in the desired reaction.
