Abstract
for more than 10 h with no obvious evidence of degradation. DFT calculations show the source of the excellent catalytic performance of the 3D porous Ni-Mo-Cu catalyst in alkaline media, including the kinetic energy and adsorption energy. This work provides significant insight into the design of efficient 3D porous materials.
