abstract = {The surface electronic structure of a material is
frequently used to identify simple descriptors for its
catalytic efficacy and other properties. To harness the
predictive ability of such descriptors, structural and
chemical evolutions of the material when exposed to
operating conditions, such as oxidizing environments and
high temperatures, need to be considered. These evolutions
occur at length scales not easily observable, leading to
averaging over short-range variations and thus
misinterpretation of the property in question. Here, we
investigate perovskite Pr0.5Ba0.5CoO3−δ as a prototypical
mixed ionic–electronic conductor that exhibits promising
catalytic properties toward the oxygen evolution reaction in
electrochemical cells, which have been characterized by such
descriptors. We employ spatially resolved X-ray absorption
spectroscopy and find a Cahn–Hilliard-type decomposition
process at sub-micrometer length scales after mere hours at
operating or processing conditions. The observation is in
contrast to the thermodynamic stability of the
Pr0.5Ba0.5CoO3−δ bulk, suggesting the decomposition to be
confined to the surface. Our results showcase a considerable
lateral inhomogeneity of the surface electronic structure,
emphasizing that descriptors derived through spatially
averaging techniques have to be heavily scrutinized.},
