High‐Coverage Nanometric MOx (M = Ir, Rh) Clusters Anchored on Spinel Co3O4 Matrix With Amorphous/Crystalline Heterostructure Harness Efficient Water Electrolysis

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Strong interfacial electronic coupling between nanometric MOx (M = Ir and Rh) clusters and the spinel matrix optimizes the electronic environment and redistributes spatial charge, thereby enabling efficient water electrolysis. Architecting nanometric cluster electrocatalysts with high density of active atoms offers a valuable avenue to simultaneously ...
