Metal–Support Interaction of Carbon–Based Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Metal–support interaction (MSI) is considered a key effect of electronic and geometric structures catalysts on tuning catalytic performance. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) crucial process during energy conversion storage. However, the OER requires help noble metal to reduce overpotential, enhance reactivity with intermediates, maintain good operating stability. Carbon–supported have been candidates for OER. MSI occurs at interface carbon supports metals, affecting performance through modulation. can influence change pathways from charge redistribution, electron transfer, chemical coordination bonding, steric effect. Connecting effects mechanism provide theoretical guidance practical approach design efficient catalysts, including modulation particle size, morphology, heteroatom doping, defect engineering, atom number. Advantage be taken between compounds catalyst design.
