Turning main-group element magnesium into a highly active electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction

It is known that the main-group metals and their related materials show poor catalytic activity due to a broadened single resonance derived from the interaction of valence orbitals of adsorbates with the broad sp-band of main-group metals. However, Mg cofactors existing in enzymes are extremely acti...
