  • Metal-heteroatom alloying is a useful pathway to improve catalytic performance by redistributing electron density and optimizing adsorption energy of reactant species.

    “metal-heteroatom alloying is regarded as one of the most useful pathways to further improve the catalytic performance by redistributing the electron density of catalysts and optimizing the adsorption energy of the reactant species on the catalyst surface30–34.”

    From Interstitial boron-triggered electron-deficient Os aerogels for enhanced pH-universal hydrogen evolution (2022) · cites this paper as [31]

    Section 2.2.1 says that incorporating other elements into oxide lattices can optimize the binding energies of OER intermediates and improve activity. Section 2.3.2 says metal substitution can redistribute electronic density. These passages support the proposed mechanism, but they discuss substitution in oxides rather than metal–heteroatom alloying specifically; page numbers were not available in our copy.

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.
