Nanocluster‐Assisted OH Ligand Modification Optimizes Activity and Stability of Fe‐N‐C Catalysts [PDF]
Advanced scienceA nanocluster‐assisted ligand engineering stabilizes OH‐modified FeN4 active sites through strong electronic coupling between isolated Fe atoms and adjacent nanoclusters. This synergy optimizes oxygen‐intermediate adsorption, lowers ORR energy barriers, and breaks the conventional activity–stability trade‐off, enabling high ORR activity, exceptional ...
