Herein, the influence of compositional engineering via active site alternation on catalytic behaviour has been studied for the Ruddlesden–Popper-based system Sm2−xSrxNiO4−δ. A phase change from orthorhombic (x = 0.6) to tetragonal (x = 1.0) in bulk Sm2−xSrxNiO4−δ is confirmed by Rietveld (XRD) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). To alter the active sites, we fabricated thin films for x = 0.6 and x = 1.0 using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The electrocatalytic behaviour has been studied in an environmentally friendly medium, i.e., a neutral medium (pH = 7), for both bulk and thin films, and parameters such as transient response, electrochemical reversibility and oxygen evolution reactivity are measured. The cyclic voltammetry curves suggest that electrochemical reversibility for thin films is governed by adsorption as opposed to the diffusion observed for bulk samples. Our investigation further suggests that moderate electroactivity can be achieved with an increase in active sites on miniaturization with the phase change.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
