The reactivity of carbonyl functional groups largely depends on the substituents on the carbon atom. Reversal of the commonly accepted order of reactivity of different carbonyl compounds requires ...
Metal-free electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) harness carbon-based materials—often modified by heteroatom incorporation and defect engineering—to rival precious‐metal systems in ...
A new study has challenged conventional wisdom on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts by uncovering a novel reaction pathway in weak-binding metal–nitrogen–carbon (M–N–C) single-atom catalysts ...
The global transition toward sustainable energy hinges on efficient electrochemical technologies such as fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and CO₂ electrolysis. These devices rely heavily on catalysts ...
