Constructing vacancy-rich metal phosphates by the spatial effect of ionic oligomers for enhanced OER activity

J. Mater. Chem. A, 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4TA01706D, Paper
Yida Zhao, Xinyu He, Xiaoming Ma, Zhengxi Guo, Menghui Qi, Zhaoming Liu, Ruikang Tang
By rationally selecting ionic oligomers as building blocks, sub-nano-sized gaps can be constructed in the solid structure of catalysts. This can overcome the inherent limitations associated with vacancy formation of the traditional nucleation pathway.
