The problem of efficiency of the water splitting reaction can be solved by tuning anodic water oxidation with the simultaneous oxidation of other more readily oxidizable species like alcohol . Owing to the good electrochemical activity, availability, and biodegradability of CH3OH and C2H5OH, both are beneficial as an alternative source of energy . Methanol is an economical and readily available raw material, initially proposed by Professor George A. Olah for fuel cell applications . Different electrode materials based on Pt , Pd and Pt-binary electrodes were commonly used as catalysts to accelerate the activity and to overcome the sluggish kinetics and high overpotential for the electrochemical oxidation of methanol. To overcome such problems, alternative economic transition metals like Ni, Rh, Au and metal oxides such as NiO , Co3O4 , CeO2 decorated nano ZSM-5 catalyst and complex ternary oxides such as perovskite are being tested for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol. Perovskites are probably the most studied mixed-oxide system and are considered a substitute for noble metals in heterogeneous catalysis . Gustav Rose in 1839 reported perovskite, which Russian mineralogist L.A. Perovski later gave the name perovskite. Doping the A site with an alkaline earth metal will result in additional oxygen vacancies being generated, which will increase the catalytic activity of ABO3 perovskite oxides . Significant literature is available for La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 perovskite as an efficient and stable OER electrocatalyst . Nevertheless, its use in methanol electrooxidation has not been explored much. It is well known that the methanol electrooxidation as well as OER happens using adsorbed hydroxyls over the catalyst's surface in a basic electrolyte medium . Thus, considering hydroxyls as the common intermediate, both the reaction can occur in assistance with each other. Methanol has been shown to assist OER on several different catalysts reported in the literature .
