Abstract

Here we report for the first time soluble lanthanide-transition-metal clusters Ln₃₆Co₁₂ (Ln = Eu, Gd and Dy) as effective homogeneous water oxidation electrocatalysts. The stable 48-metal Ln₃₆Co₁₂ clusters show an effective water oxidation activity under acidic conditions because of the synergistic effect between lanthanide and transition metals in O-O bond formation.
