Fullerene as a probe molecule for single-atom oxygen reduction electrocatalysts

Abstract

Fullerenes interact positively with many metal-based catalysts via intense electron transfer. Yet, we here revealed that C60 serves as a probe due to its deactivation of the active sites of single-atom O2 reduction electrocatalysts. C60 adsorption to metal atoms creates steric hindrance that restricts the access of O2 to the active sites.
