Abstract
, also maintaining reliable long-term stability. Characterization studies revealed that the enhanced performance was due to the amorphous structure of the catalyst, high electrochemical surface area, and efficient charge transfer. This work demonstrates the potential of biomass-derived carbon-based materials in the development of cost-effective and durable electrocatalysts for water splitting and green hydrogen production.
