Electronic Structure Engineering in MXene SACs: Unveiling the Role of Mixed Termination for ORR/OER Bifunctionality
Researchers engineered Ti2COXClY MXene single‑atom catalysts to probe how mixed O and Cl surface terminations affect the oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. By systematically varying the O/Cl ratio on a Ti2C substrate, they demonstrated that the adsorption energy of the OH* intermediate can be finely tuned, leading to markedly improved bifunctional activity at the same active site. The study identifies the O/Cl termination balance as a quantitative descriptor linking electronic structure to catalytic performance, offering a new design principle for high‑performance MXene SACs.
