Abstract

Abstract As promising bifunctional electrocatalysts, transition metal nitrides are expected to achieve an efficient hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) by fine‐tuning electronic structure via strain engineering, thereby facilitating hydrogen production. However, understanding the correlation between strain‐induced atomic microenvironments and reactivity remains challenging. Herein, a generalized compressive strained W‐Ni 3 N catalyst is developed to create a surface with enriched electronic states that optimize intermediate binding and activate both water and N 2 H 4 . Multi‐dimensional characterizations reveal a nearly linear correlation between the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and the d‐band…
