Abstract Recent experimental findings suggest that the catalytic activity of Co 3 O 4 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) could be improved by nitrogen doping. We present preliminary OER modelling on a N-doped Co 3 O 4 surface, with varying concentration of the dopant and its spatial distribution around Co oct and Co tet adsorption sites. The overpotential was calculated for two adsorption sites on seven types of N-doped Co 3 O 4 surface. The largest calculated overpotential value for a N-doped surface was ~1V.
