Abstract
nanoparticles. Infrared spectroscopy results indicate that the aggregation dynamics of the glutathione ligands change during catalysis. Taken together, these results help explain the reactivity of a novel class of nanostructured Ni-Cu OER catalysts, which are underexplored alternatives to more commonly studied Ni-Fe, Ni-Co, and Ni-Mn materials.
