Temperature-dependent electronic structure of bixbyite α-Mn2O3 and the importance of a subtle structural change on oxygen electrocatalysis

Bixbyite $$\alpha $$-Mn2O3 is an inexpensive Earth-abundant mineral that can be used to drive both oxygen evolution (OER) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) in alkaline conditions. It possesses a subtle orthorhombic $$ \to $$ cubic phase change near room temperature that suppresses Jahn–Teller dis...
