Implication

Research demonstrates improved H2O2 production efficiency in Co-N-C catalysts through carbon defect engineering, suggesting potential for energy applications.

Abstract

Traditional Co-N-C electrocatalyst holds considerable potential in two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR), but its robust binding towards critical *OOH intermediate largely hinders its selectivity for H 2 O 2 production. In this...
