"Defect-Derived Catalysis Mechanism of Electrochemical Reactions in Two" by Yun Han, Xuecheng Yan et al.
In the past decades, remarkable progress has been achieved in the exploration of electrocatalysts with high activity, long durability, and low cost. Among these, defective graphene (DG)-based catalysts are considered as one of the most potential substitutes for precious metal-based electrocatalysts. DG-based catalysts contain abundant active centers with different configurations resulting from their extraordinary high-structural tunability. Herein, an overview on recent advancements in developing four kinds of DG-based catalysts is presented: 1) heteroatoms-doped graphene; 2) intrinsic DG (vac...
