Tailoring the nanostructure and composition of transition metal nitrides is highly important for their use as potent low-cost electrocatalysts. Cobalt nitride (CoN) exhibits strong catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, its poor catalytic efficiency for oxygen reduction rea...
