2. Study on electrocatalytic mechanism of non-precious metal catalysts

It mainly focuses on the electrochemical analysis, electrocatalytic activity and mechanism research of non-precious metal catalysts. Based on the research of non-precious metals and their derivatives used as catalysts for water electrolysis, the reaction mechanism of several catalytic reactions such as UOR, HER, OER and ORR was analyzed from the atomic level.
