Atom-Coordinated Structure Triggers Selective H2O2 Production

Abstract

The family of atomic catalysts in defective carbons is now of increasing interest for diverse reactions. In this issue of Chem, Liu and co-workers unveil the nature of M–N–C (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) as active sites that can finely tune the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathways spanning 1 e–4 e transfer processes.
