Abstract

Abstract : Redox‐inactive substituents steer the activity of manganese oxide nanoparticles, Mn3 O4 :M, in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In their Research Article (e202217186), Denis Kuznetsov, Christoph Müller, and co‐workers describe how the ORR activity of Mn3 O4 :M correlates with the enthalpy of formation of the binary MO oxide and the Lewis acidity of the M site. The work generalizes the role of redox‐inactive elements in influencing the kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions and provides a perspective on the design of new catalyst compositions.
