Spectroscopic identification of active sites for the oxygen evolution reaction on iron-cobalt oxides

Optimization of electrocatalysts requires an understanding of all active reaction sites. Here, the authors combine X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electrochemistry to identify cobalt atoms with different coordination geometries and probe their contribution to electrocatalytic water oxidation.
