Abstract
Disrupting the charge distribution equilibrium in catalysts is an effective strategy for the polarization and cleavage of small molecules during the electrocatalytic process. To achieve effective C–C bond cleavage in multicarbon molecules, such as glycerol, integrating the advantages of defect sites while creating spatially asymmetric sites that modulate the local electronic perturbations is both promising and challenging. In this study, spatially asymmetric defect pairs were engineered by partially refilling sulfur atoms into spinel CuCo2Ox with a high oxygen vacancy density (HVo-S). These oxygen defect-refilled S pairs (Vo-S) enhance the local charge transfer, reduce the energy barrier for glycerol…
