Role of laser ablation synthesis parameters in ORR electrocatalytic performance of MOF-derived hybrid nanocomposites

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: , CoO, and metallic Co embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon. These materials exhibit high porosity, stable crystalline structures, and enhanced ORR activity, including a four-electron transfer pathway, excellent durability, and performance comparable to commercial Pt/C catalysts. Compared with traditional hydrothermal methods, LASiS provides a template-free and solvent-minimizing alternative that enables precise control over particle size, structure, and composition in a single-step process. This work highlights the potential of LASiS as a powerful tool to develop next-generation sustainable energy materials.
