Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon materials featuring atomically dispersed metal cations (M–N–C) are an emerging family of materials with potential applications for electrocatalysis. The electrocatalytic activity of M–N–C materials toward four-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to H2O is a mainstream line of research for replacing platinum-group-metal-based catalysts at the cathode of fuel cells. However, fundamental and practical aspects of their electrocatalytic activity toward two-electron ORR to H2O2, a future green “dream” process for chemical industry, remain poorly understood. Here we combined computational and experimental efforts to uncover the trends in electrochemical H2O2 production over a series of…
