Core–Shell Nanocomposites Based on Gold Nanoparticle@Zinc–Iron-Embedded Porous Carbons Derived from Metal–Organic Frameworks as Efficient Dual Catalysts for Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions

Core–shell nanocomposites based on Au nanoparticle@zinc–iron-embedded porous carbons (Au@Zn–Fe–C) derived from metal–organic frameworks were prepared as bifunctional electrocatalysts for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A single Au nanoparticle of 50–100…
