Cation substitution in spinel cobaltites (e.g., ACo₂O₄, in which A=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn) is a promising strategy to precisely modulate their electronic structure/properties and thus improve the corresponding electrochemical performance for water splitting. However, the fundamental principles and mechanisms are not fully understood. This research aims to systematically investigate the effects of cation substitution in spinel cobaltites derived from mixed-metal-organic frameworks on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Among the obtained ACo₂O₄ catalysts, FeCo₂O₄ showed excellent OER performance with a current density of 10 mA·cm^-2 at an overpotential of 164 mV in alkaline media. Both theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the Fe substitution in the crystal lattice of ACo₂O₄ can significantly accelerate charge transfer, thereby achieving enhanced electrochemical properties. The crystal field of spinel ACo₂O₄, which determines the valence states of cations A, is identified as the key factor to dictate the OER performance of these spinel cobaltites.
