Enhancing Oxygen Evolution Reaction Performance in Prussian Blue Analogues: Triple-Play of Metal Exsolution, Hollow Interiors, and Anionic Regulation.

Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are promising catalysts for green hydrogen production. However, the rational design of high-performing PBAs is challenging, which requires an in-depth understanding of the catalytic mechanism. Here FeMn@CoNi core-shell PBAs are employed as precursors, together with Se powders, in low-temperature pyrolysis in an argon atmosphere.

Controlled Self-Assembly of Hollow Core-Shell FeMn/CoNi Prussian Blue Analogs with Boosted Electrocatalytic Activity.

Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are considered as efficient catalysts for energy-related applications due to their porous nanoscale architectures containing finely disseminated active sites. Their catalytic capability can be greatly boosted by the rational design and construction of complex PBA hybrid nanostructures. However, present-day structure engineering inevitably involves additional etchant or procedure.
