The OER (oxygen evolution reaction) catalytic reaction calculation is a first-principles computational technique that predicts the electrocatalytic activity of various materials for the OER reaction. This technique is widely used in materials science and computational chemistry to design efficient catalysts for renewable energy production. At CD ComputaBio, we provide OER catalytic reaction calculation services using state-of-the-art methods and software. Our team of experienced computational chemists and materials scientists provides accurate and reliable results for a wide range of materials, including metals, oxides, and nitrides.
