Bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reaction electrocatalysts achieved by axial ligand modulation on two-dimensional porphyrin frameworks

electrocatalysts. The good electrocatalytic performance is maintained by replacing the center metal atoms with Mn, Fe and/or Ni. Our investigation highlights the role of the pyrrolic-N coordination and the ligands in improving the catalytic activity of 2D COFs and provides new insights into the rational design of efficient bifunctional ORR/OER catalysts.
