We mainly foucsed on the system design for higher efficiency of H2O splitting reactions and electrochemical oxygen evolution/reduction reactions (OER/ORR) with lower thermodynamic overpotential. A comprehensive mechanistic and kinetic understanding of water dissociation performance in the innovative bipolar membrane (BPM) is reported by examining six different water splitting mechanisms on inner-layer graphene oxide (GO) catalysts. Meanwhile, ab initio thermodynamic studies of OER/ORR are performed on different candidaites of solid-state surfaces, including single-atom catalysts, carbon nanotubes, and topological Bismuth material.
