Efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalysis in acid by a perovskite with face-sharing IrO6 octahedral dimers

While splitting water may provide a renewable source of carbon-neutral energy, the water oxidation half-reaction is sluggish and the materials needed show poor stability. Here, authors demonstrate an unusual iridium-based oxide to perform high-efficiency oxygen evolution in acid with good stability.
