Shape-Induced d-BandCenter Optimization ofPdBiNi Nanocubes for Exclusive Oxidation of Glycerol into C3 Products

Abstract Electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol toward high-value C3 products on Pd-based catalysts presents a promising strategy for upgrading and converting glycerol. However, C3 intermediates often adsorb too tightly on Pd-based catalyst surfaces during glycerol oxidation, lea...

Developing Structurally Uniform Nitrogenous Model Systems to Interrogate the Metal-Free Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Abstract Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a kinetically sluggish reaction under uncatalyzed conditions. Numerous studies have revealed that mixtures of N-doped moieties in graphene improve ORR activity and selectivity. However, due to the surface heterogeneity of N-doped carbon...
