Surface design of transition-metal based electrocatalysts for high energy storage devices by Ang, Huixiang

“…We therefore proposed that the duel dopants (N/S) in the Mo2C co-activated the Mo center, exhibiting a synergistic effect (σ-donation and π-back donation), which improved the catalyst-adsorbate interaction, destabilized the H-O bond of H3O+ and promoted the formation of H2 molecules. In conclusion, the overpotential of the electrochemical reactions could be lowered by the aforementioned rational-designs of the electrocatalysts. …”
