Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tianjue Hou"
- Tianjue Hou's recent research focuses on enhancing catalytic performances in oxygen evolution reactions by modifying transition metal-based precatalysts through the incorporation of gadolinium (Gd) dopants.
- The 2024 study demonstrates that the addition of Gd results in a deep reconstruction of cobalt hydroxide into a unique form of cobalt oxyhydroxide (γ-CoOOH) that retains its doping during activation, which is crucial for performance improvement.
- Findings indicate that the non-leaching Gd dopants contribute to reduced crystallinity in γ-CoOOH, leading to increased exposure of Co atoms, which enhances its overall catalytic activity in alkaline environments.
