2D NbIrTe<sub>4</sub> and TaRhTe<sub>4</sub> monolayers: two fascinating topological insulators as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction
Mingyue Lv, Guangtao Yu, Wei Chen
Abstract
2D topological insulator NbIrTe 4 and TaRhTe 4 monolayers can be high-efficiency oxygen reduction electrocatalysts with good selectivity of 4e pathway for fuel cells. Topological behavior also plays an important role in their oxygen reduction activity.
