A Cobalt Porphyrin Doubly Tethered with Piperazine Groups for Highly Selective Electrocatalytic Four‐Electron Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Acidic Aqueous Solution

Comprehensive Summary Selective electrocatalytic four‐electron (4e) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is required in many new energy conversion technologies. Although Co porphyrins are active for electrocatalytic ORR, their selectivity for the 4e ORR is usually poor. Herein, we rep...

Electrochemically‐Driven Geometric Restructuring of Bismuth on Helical Carbon Nanorods Boosts H 2 O 2 Electrosynthesis

ABSTRACT Understanding how catalysts restructure under operational conditions is vital for identifying active sites and designing efficient electrocatalysts for the two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR), a promising route for synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )....

Dynamic Heterovalent Dual‐Cu Sites for O═O Cleavage in Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction Reaction

ABSTRACT Activation and cleavage of the inert O═O bond represent a central challenge in energy electrochemistry. Here, the Cu dual‐atom catalyst (Cu‐DAC) is constructed via bottom‐up pre‐coordination assembly and post‐encapsulation pyrolysis. The resulting Cu‐DAC features a well‐...
