Origins of enhanced oxygen reduction activity of transition metal nitrides

Nature Materials, Published online: 03 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01998-7

While transition metal nitrides are promising low-cost electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media, a fundamental understanding of their activity is still lacking. Here MnN nanocuboids with well-defined surface structures are investigated, providing atomistic insight and mechanistic understanding.Nature Materials, Published online: 03 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41563-024-01998-7While transition metal nitrides are promising low-cost electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media, a fundamental understanding of their activity is still lacking.
