Oxygen electrocatalysis has attracted significant attention due to its critical role in the performance of important electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and metal-air batteries. Perovsikites with a formula of A2BO4 have emerged as promising electrocatalysts for oxygen electrocatalysis due to their suitable mixed ionic and electronic conductivities. We investigate the surface structure and composition as parameters to understand and tune the oxygen electrocatalysis activity of these oxides. We utilize quantum chemical calculations combined with detailed characterization, controlled synthesis, and testing as effective ways for developing the fundamental knowledge at the molecular level required to guide the design of efficient nonstoichiometric, mixed metal oxides for oxygen electrocatalysis.
