TL;DR: In this article, the effect of copper content in the Cu-Co oxides on the surface morphology, electrochemical and crystallographic properties has been investigated, and based on the electrochemical determination, the binary oxide electrodes exhibit better catalysis activity than that of CuO and Co 3 O 4 electrodes for oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

TL;DR: It is found that the use of Fe-citrate could not only facilitate the agglomeration of Fe to generate huge-diameter CNTs by the bottom-up organic strategy but also induce the formation of Fe -N sites by the ligand substitution of 2-methylimidazole with citrate ions in ZIF-8, making it a promising class of Pt-alternative catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the design and synthesis of a MnxOy/N-C hybrid catalyst that can address both the activity and durability issues caused by the high productivity of peroxide (H2O2) in nitrogen-doped carbon.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined experimental and computational study on exfoliated montmorillonite (ex-MMT) nanoplatelet supported palladium catalysts was conducted, and the experimental results revealed that the Pd-d states and the O(AlO6)-p states have similar energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic activity of β-MnO 2 with high-index (2.1/1) and (2 - 2-1) surfaces for oxygen reduction (ORR) was studied using density functional theory (DFT).
