The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of pristine NiOOH is enhanced by doping with Fe. However, the precise role of Fe is still being debated. Here, we use the first-principles DFT+U approach to study three different types of active sites: one on pristine and the other two on Fe-doped NiOOH monolayers to account for the direct and indirect roles of Fe. To compare the activity of the active sites, we consider two mechanisms of OER based on the source of O-O bond formation. Our results show that the mechanism involving the coupling of lattice oxygen is generally more favorable than water nucleophilic attack on lattice oxygen. On doping with Fe, the overpotential of NiOOH is reduced by 0.33 V in excellent agreement with experimental findings. Introducing Fe at active sites results in different potential determining steps (PDS) in the two mechanisms, whereas Ni sites in pristine and Fe-doped NiOOH have the same PDS regardless of the mechanism. The Fe sites not only have the lowest overpotential but also decrease the overpotential for Ni sites.

<div> <p><b>Heterogeneous aqueous-phase aerobic oxidations are an important emerging class of catalytic transformations, particularly for upgrading next generation bio-derived substrates. The mechanism of these reactions and the precise role of O<sub>2</sub> in particular remains unclear. Herein, we test the hypothesis that thermochemical aerobic oxidation proceeds via two coupled electrochemical half-reactions for oxygen reduction and substrate oxidation. We collect</b><b> electrochemical and thermochemical data on common noble metal catalysts under identical reaction/transport environments, and find that the electrochemical polarization curves of the O<sub>2</sub> reduction and the substrate oxidation half-reaction closely predict the mixed potential of the catalyst measured <i>in operando</i> during thermochemical catalysis across 13 diverse variables spanning </b><b>reaction conditions, catalyst composition, reactant identity, and pH</b><b>. Additionally, we find that driving the oxidation half-reaction reaction electrochemically in the absence of O<sub>2</sub> at the mixed potential leads to very similar rates and selectivities as for the thermochemical reaction in all cases examined. These findings strongly indicate that the role of O<sub>2</sub> in thermochemical aerobic oxidation is solely as an electron scavenger that provides an incipient electrochemical driving force for substrate oxidation. These studies provide a </b><b>quantitative and predictive link between thermochemical and electrochemical catalysis, thereby enabling the rational design of new thermochemical liquid-phase aerobic oxidation schemes by applying the principles of electrochemistry.</b></p> </div> <br>

In the development of photoelectrochemical cells for water splitting or CO2reduction, a major challenge is O2evolution at photoelectrodes that, in behavior, mimic photosystem II. At an appropriate semiconductor electrode, a water oxidation catalyst must be integrated with a visible light absorber in a stable half-cell configuration. Here, we describe an electrode consisting of a light absorber, an intermediate electron donor layer, and a water oxidation catalyst for sustained light driven water oxidation catalysis. In assembling the electrode on nanoparticle SnO2/TiO2electrodes, a Ru(II) polypyridyl complex was used as the light absorber, NiO was deposited as an overlayer, and a Ru(II) 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate complex as the water oxidation catalyst. In the final electrode, addition of the NiO overlayer enhanced performance toward water oxidation with the final electrode operating with a 1.1 mA/cm2photocurrent density for 2 h without decomposition under one sun illumination in a pH 4.65 solution. We attribute the enhanced performance to the role of NiO as an electron transfer mediator between the light absorber and the catalyst.
