Spinel zinc cobalt oxide (ZnCo2 O4 ) is not considered as a superior catalyst for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is the bottleneck reaction in water-electrolysis. Herein, taking advantage of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we find that the existence of low-s...
