Quasi-two-dimensional oxides Sr3Mn2O6and Sr3FeMnO6have been synthesized and their bifunctional electrocatalytic activity toward both half-reactions of water-splitting, i.e., oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER), has been demonstrated. The two materials are isostructural and consist of (Fe/Mn)O5square-pyramidal units that form two-dimensional layers, separated by strontium ions. This structure type is related to the so-called Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) structure, which typically contains 7 oxygens per formula unit and consists of octahedrally coordinated transition metals. The two materials in this work can be described as oxygen-deficient RP systems. Both compounds show electrocatalytic activity for OER and HER, with Sr3FeMnO6having a significantly greater performance compared to Sr3Mn2O6. The overpotential required for both OER and HER is considerably lowered for Sr3FeMnO6. This material also shows faster reaction kinetics and greater electrochemically active surface area compared to Sr3Mn2O6. While the activity of Sr3FeMnO6does not reach those of state-of-the-art catalysts, its bifunctional electrocatalytic performance is remarkable. In addition, it demonstrates the important role of electronegativity in directing functional properties such as electrocatalysis.Graphical abstract
