Abstract

Abstract The exploitation of highly efficient, low-cost, and stable electrocatalysts is a key issue of the broad application of green electrocatalytic reactions and efficient energy devices. Recently, modulating the surface structure of electrocatalysts to improve the catalytic activity has attracted a lot of attention. In particular, defect engineering is an important strategy to modulate the surface electronic structure of electrocatalysts. In this review, an overview of defects in metal, carbon materials, transition metal compounds, and defect-decorated catalysts is presented. The defect species, synthesis methods, characterization, and essential defect catalytic mechanism are introduced. Notably, tuning electronic structure to modulate the intermediates’ adsorption energy is highlighted throughout the review. Finally, the design principles for defect electrocatalysts are proposed. The in-depth understanding of the structure–reactivity relationship will provide more profound guidance for the design of defect electrocatalysts and potential application in energy conversion and green synthesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
