Abstract Electrocatalytic two‐electron oxygen reduction has emerged as a promising alternative to the energy‐ and waste‐intensive anthraquinone process for distributed H 2 O production. This process, however, suffers from strong competition four‐electron pathway leading low selectivity. Herein, we report using superhydrophilic ‐entrapping electrocatalyst enable superb electrocatalysis. The honeycomb carbon nanofibers (HCNFs) are robust capable of achieving high selectivity 97.3 %, much...

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) enabled by introducing Ti3+ defect sites into TiO2 through a doping strategy has recently attracted widespread attention. However, the amount of ions is limited due to low concentration dopants. Herein, we propose Ti2O3 nanoparticles as pure system that performs efficiently toward NH3 electrosynthesis under ambient conditions. This work suggested ions, main catalytically active sites, significantly increase NRR activity. In an acidic...
