Spin state and orbital engineering of cuprous oxide for efficient nitrate reduction

Abstract Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction provides a sustainable pathway for wastewater treatment and ammonia production, yet the complex multi‑electron transfer demands efficient catalysts to achieve both high selectivity and fast kinetics. Here we show that atomic substitutio...

Switchable 2 e − /4 e − ORR Pathway Directed by Spin‐State Engineering for High‐Rate H 2 O 2 Production

ABSTRACT Precise control of the 2 e − /4 e − oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathway is essential for directing H 2 O 2 production toward high efficiency and scalability. However, rational regulation of the active site's electronic spin‐states to dictate selectivity remains a fun...
