Demonstrated here is the correlation between atomic configuration induced electronic density of single-atom Co active sites and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance by combining density-functional theory (DFT) calculations electrochemical analysis. Guided DFT calculations, a MOF-derived catalyst with optimal Co1 -N3 PS moiety incorporated in hollow carbon polyhedron (Co1 PS/HC) was designed synthesized.

Abstract The modulation effect has been widely investigated to tune the electronic state of single‐atomic M‐N‐C catalysts enhance activity oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, in‐depth study is rarely reported for isolated dual‐atomic metal sites.

Micro-supercapacitors are notorious for their low energy densities compared to micro-batteries. While MXenes have been identified as promising capacitor-type electrode materials alternative zinc-ion hybrid micro-supercapacitors (ZHMSCs) with higher density, tightly spaced layered structure renders multivalent zinc-ions large radii intercalation inefficient.
