The electrochemical oxidation of water to oxygen gas is the primary counter reaction to the formation of hydrogen gas via water splitting. In acidic media, the only well-established and active oxygen evolution catalysts are expensive noble metal oxides such as IrO_x and RuO_x, necessitating the development of practical oxygen evolution catalysts that are stable in acidic media. In this study, we prepared stoichiometric, phase-pure CoSb₂O₆ and MnSb₂O₆ electrodes using electrochemical synthesis and investigated their ability to oxidize water in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ (pH 0.3). In addition, their stabilities during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) were carefully examined by comparing their morphologies, crystallinities, compositions, and surface compositions before and after the OER. The chlorine evolution reaction on CoSb₂O₆ and MnSb₂O₆ in acidic media was also examined so that their performances can be compared with previously reported non-stoichiometric CoSb₂O₆ and MnSb₂O₆ electrodes. The electrochemical properties and stabilities of stoichiometric, phase-pure CoSb₂O₆ and MnSb₂O₆ reported in this study can provide useful insights into the development and understanding of acid-stable, non-noble metal oxide-based OER catalysts.
