abstract = {The urgent global demand for sustainable energy drives the
search for durable and efficient electrocatalysts for water
splitting. Cobalt mononitride (CoN) stands out due to its
earth abundance, high conductivity, and corrosion
resistance, but its thermodynamic instability often results
in cobalt-rich secondary phases. Here, we report a scalable
reactive cosputtering approach for the controlled synthesis
of CoN thin films, along with palladium (Pd) incorporation
to enhance activity and stability. Pd doping induces a
negative valence state and promotes electron transfer from
nitrogen to Pd sites, thereby refining the microstructure,
redistributing charge, and shifting the d-band center away
from the Fermi level. These synergistic effects reduce the
overpotential from 470 to 360 mV at 10 mA·cm–2 in a
sample coated on the ITO substrate and deliver markedly
improved long-term OER stability with increased
catalytically active sites. The turnover frequency showed
nearly twice the intrinsic activity with Pd doping. This
work establishes Pd-doped CoN as a high-performance, durable
electrocatalyst, offering a scalable pathway toward
efficient water splitting technologies.},
