The use of water splitting has been investigated as a good alternate for storing electrical energy. While the general interest in developing non-toxic, high-performance, and economically feasible catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is noteworthy, there is also significant interest in water splitting research. Recently, perovskite-type oxides have performed as an alternative to non-precious metal catalysts and can act as a new class of effective catalysts in water splitting systems. Herein, a perovskite-structured FeTiO₃ was prepared via a facile one-step solvothermal method using ionic liquid as templates. The results of structural and morphological studies have supported the formation of FeTiO₃ perovskite. Furthermore, FeTiO₃ perovskite demonstrated OER activity with a lower onset potential of 1.45 V vs. RHE and Tafel slope value of 0.133 V.dec⁻¹ at 1 M KOH solution using mercury/mercurous oxide (Hg/HgO) were used as working electrodes.
