Abstract
transfer process. The calculated bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of the electroactive O-H/N-H bonds provides a more nuanced and detailed understanding of PCET thermodynamic landscapes. These findings underscore the potential of nanoscale functionalized C-Dots for facilitating multiple PCET reactions in future energy technologies.
