In situ incorporation of cobalt nanoclusters and nitrogen into the carbon matrix: a bifunctional catalyst for the oxygen depolarized cathode and chlorine evolution in HCl electrolysis

The co-insertion of both cobalt and nitrogen into the carbon matrix was achieved from single precursor without any templates. The obtained Co-NSC catalyst was explored bifunctionally towards both oxygen depolarized cathode and chlorine evolution under HCl electrolysis conditions.
