Abstract

Read online

While facile hydrazine oxidation could replace the sluggish H2O oxidation reaction in renewable H2 production, few bifunctional catalysts exist. Here, authors explore a dual-doping strategy for Co3N nanowires that bestows bifunctionality toward both hydrazine oxidation and H2 evolution catalysis.
