Decouple H2O2 Electrosynthesis From Microenvironmental Decomposition via Atomic Site Density Engineering

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Using defect‐rich Co‐N2O2 single‐atom catalysts as a model system, this work reveals that atomic site density governs the competition between H2O2 electrosynthesis and microenvironmental decomposition during 2e−‐ORR. Optimised site isolation suppresses HPRR and HDR, thereby establishing a site‐density principle to balance H2O2 formation and ...
