abstract = {The study of oxide electrocatalysts is often complicated by
the formation of complex and unknown surface species as well
as the interaction between the catalysts and common support
materials. Because unknown surface species may result from
air exposure, we developed a clean transfer system for the
air-free electrochemical investigation of epitaxial thin
films fabricated under typical surface science conditions.
LaNiO3 electrocatalysts exposed to ambient air exhibit a
lower activity towards the oxygen evolution reaction than
samples probed without air exposure. We demonstrate that
this decrease in activity is connected to an alteration of
the chemical environment of the electrocatalytically active
sites through carbonate formation on exposure to CO2. Our
study therefore shows that (1) the effects of air exposure
must be considered for transition metal oxide catalysts and
(2) that for the perovskite oxide LaNiO3 the clean surface
is more active than the air-exposed surface.},
