Advanced BIFs with Co, B, N, and S for Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction and Oxygen Evolution Reactions.

In this work, a new alkaline-stable boron imidazolate framework () was rationally designed and successfully synthesized by solvothermal reaction. Due to its potential electrocatalytic active sites (Co, B, N, and S) and chemical stabilities, was explored as a bifunctional electrocatalyst toward electrochemical oxygen reactions, namely, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This work will open new avenues toward the design of stable, cheap, and more active BIFs as bifunctional catalysts.
