Abstract
C semiconductor could induce advantageous charge transport and redistribution at the heterointerface, contributing to the optimization of the d-band center of the nanohybrid and ultimately leading to a reduction in the reaction energy barrier during catalytic processes. The exquisite macroporous nanoframe facilitated the rapid transport of ions and charges, as well as the smooth access of oxygen to the internal active site. Thus, the presented unique electronic structure regulation and macroporous structure design show promising potential for the development of robust bifunctional oxygen electrodes.
