abstract = {The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the key
kinetically limiting half reactions in electrochemical
energy conversion. Model epitaxial catalysts have emerged as
a platform to identify structure-function-relationships at
the atomic level, a prerequisite to establish advanced
catalyst design rules. Previous work identified an inverse
relationship between activity and the stability of noble
metal and oxide OER catalysts in both acidic and alkaline
environments: The most active catalysts for the anodic OER
are chemically unstable under reaction conditions leading to
fast catalyst dissolution or amorphization, while the most
stable catalysts lack sufficient activity. In this
perspective, we discuss the role that epitaxial catalysts
play in identifying this activity-stability-dilemma and
introduce examples of how they can help overcome it. After a
brief review of previously observed
activity-stability-relationships, we will investigate the
dependence of both activity and stability as a function of
crystal facet. Our experiments reveal that the inverse
relationship is not universal and does not hold for all
perovskite oxides in the same manner. In fact, we find that
facet-controlled epitaxial La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ catalysts
follow the inverse relationship, while for LaNiO3-δ, the
(111) facet is both the most active and the most stable. In
addition, we show that both activity and stability can be
enhanced simultaneously by moving from La-rich to Ni-rich
termination layers. These examples show that the previously
observed inverse activity-stability-relationship can be
overcome for select materials and through careful control of
the atomic arrangement at the solid-liquid interface. This
realization re-opens the search for active and stable
catalysts for water electrolysis that are made from
earth-abundant elements. At the same time, these results
showcase that additional stabilization via material design
strategies will be required to induce a general departure
from inverse stability-activity relationships among the
transition metal oxide catalysts to ultimately grant access
to the full range of available oxides for OER catalysis.},
