Abstract
, promoting efficient electron transfer and lowering the energy barrier for intermediate formation, thereby enhancing OER activity. This strategic modulation of charge asymmetry in heterojunction architectures provides a new approach for the rational design of high-performance bifunctional electrocatalysts.
