Efficient Fe-N 4 site activated by Te doping with polarity engineering for enhanced nitrate electroreduction reaction
Abstract
The Fe-N 4 /Te-CN catalyst achieves 2.31-fold higher activity than its non-polar Fe-N 4 /CN counterpart, underscoring the role of induced polarity as a pivotal lever for NRA performance.
