Selective chromium dissolution as an interfacial design strategy for enhanced oxygen evolution activity in CrFeCoNi oxy-carbide films by Tian Xiao, Koichi Yoshiyama, Kenji Yoshino, Tomohiro Higashi

“…This oxidative Cr dissolution process not only expanded the electrochemically active surface area but also facilitated the reoxidation of Fe, Co, and Ni, thereby weakening the binding strength of intermediates at catalytic sites. In addition, selective Cr dissolution improved the conductivity of the films owing to newly formed metal–metal bonding, promoting electron transfer and improving the OER performance, achieving an overpotential of 264 mV at J of 10 mA cm−2. …”
