Abstract

Amorphous (red) are disordered with defects and active sites; crystalline (blue) are ordered, conductive, and stable; A–C heterostructures combine both for superior UOR performance.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion Ammonia Synthesis and Nitrogen Reduction Environmental remediation with nanomaterials
