Tuning cohesive interactions of porphyrins for selective two‐electron oxygen reductions
AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Selective two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) provides a sustainable route for hydrogen peroxide production, with broad industrial and environmental applications. However, controlling over ORR selectivity remains challenging due to the competing four‐electron pathway (i.e., over‐reduction of oxygen to water).
