ABSTRACT
A highly efficient Ir/Ni-N-C catalysts with promoted CO-tolerance were fabricated for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction. The unique electronic interaction and coordination effects induced by Ni-N-C substrates optimize the adsorption behavior towards the vital hydroxyl species, which lower the energy barrier of the sluggish water formation step and boost the CO oxidative desorption process simultaneously, accounting for their improved catalytic performance. -
