Curvature and Microenvironment Regulation Enable Robust Seawater Electrochemical Hydrogen Peroxide Synthesis for On‐Site Marine Aquaculture

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
This work designs pentagon‐defect‐enriched interconnected spherical carbon (PD/IS‐C) via curvature and microenvironment co‐engineering for seawater H2O2 electrosynthesis. Curvature modulates electronic structure to boost reactivity, while local alkaline microenvironment repels Cl− for enhanced stability, endowing PD/IS‐C with exceptional catalytic ...
