Abstract:The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are crucial half-reactions of green electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies, such as electrochemical water-splitting devices and regenerative fuel cells. Researchers always committed to synthesizing earth-abundant-element-based nanomaterials as high-efficiency electrocatalysts for realizing their industrial applications. In this review, we briefly elaborate on the underlying mechanisms of OER and ORR during the electroch… Show more
“…On the other hand, the scarcity and high cost of these noble metal catalysts further hinder their wide application. 7–9 Therefore, developing highly active and durable non-precious metal OER catalysts is challenging.…”
The design of the energy band structure modulates the surface charge distribution and optimizes energy levels of Fe3C-NG@NiFe, the construction of the double heterojunction introduces additional active sites and fast electron transfer for the OER.

“…Therefore, many efficient bifunctional transition metal-based materials have been developed. 7–15 Currently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), 16 two-dimensional (2D) materials 17,18 and transition metal-based catalysts 19 show efficient electrocatalytic ORR/OER activity. Among these materials, M–N–C materials have attracted increasing attention.…”
Herein, a novel assembled Co-N-C (A-Co-N-C) material was reported for the first time by pyrolyzing zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) nanoparticle aggregates caused by the introduction of surfactant polystyrene sulfonic acid...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
