Enhanced Mass Transport and Elevated Active Site Density for Highly Efficient Overall Water Splitting Over Delignification‐Engineered Carbonized Wood

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Controlled delignification pretreatment tailors the hierarchical porous structure of wood to improve ion transport and create abundant anchoring sites for Ni/Ni(OH)2 catalysts. The optimized electrode shows enhanced mass transfer, increased active site density, and superior overall water‐splitting performance, demonstrating delignification as an ...
