abstract = {Co oxides and oxyhydroxides have been studied extensively
in the past as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen
evolution reaction (OER) in neutral to alkaline media.
Earlier studies showed the formation of an ultrathin
CoO$_x$(OH)$_y$ skin layer on Co$_3$O$_4$ at potentials
above 1.15 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), but the
precise influence of this skin layer on the OER reactivity
is still under debate. We present here a systematic study of
epitaxial spinel-type Co$_3$O$_4$ films with defined (111)
orientation, prepared on different substrates by
electrodeposition or physical vapor deposition. The OER
overpotential of these samples may vary up to 120 mV,
corresponding to two orders of magnitude differences in
current density, which cannot be accounted for by
differences in the electrochemically active surface area. We
demonstrate by a careful analysis of operando surface X-ray
diffraction measurements that these differences are clearly
correlated with the average thickness of the skin layer. The
OER reactivity increases with the amount of formed skin
layer, indicating that the entire three-dimensional skin
layer is an OER-active interphase. Furthermore, a scaling
relationship between the reaction centers in the skin layer
and the OER activity is established. It suggests that two
lattice sites are involved in the OER mechanism.},
