Abstract
Abstract Carbon black has been extensively employed as the support for noble metal catalysts for electrocatalysis applications. However, the nearly catalytic inertness and weak interaction with metal species of carbon black are two major obstacles that hinder the further improvement of the catalytic performance. Herein, we report a surface functionalization strategy by decorating transition metal oxide clusters on the commercial carbon black to offer specific catalytic activity and enhanced interaction with metal species. In the case of NiO x cluster‐decorated carbon black, a strongly coupled cluster‐cluster heterostructure consisting of Pt clusters and NiO x clusters (Pt−NiO x /C) is formed and delivers…
