Abstract
In this work, cerium-incorporated Co-based catalysts encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon were fabricated for the electrocatalytic hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR). The Ce incorporation could lead to the formation of surface oxide nanolayers with a disordered lattice, endowing the catalyst with enriched active sites and enhanced intrinsic activity for promoted HzOR.
