Abstract
C bridging with nitrogen-doped carbon dramatically modulates the electron structure and activates inert atoms to generate more highly active sites for electrocatalysis. Moreover, the optimized electronic structure is more conducive to the balance of the adsorption and desorption energies of reaction intermediates, thus significantly promoting the HER, OER and overall water splitting performance.
