NiFe co-doped TiO2 as a high-performance bifunctional photocatalyst for enhanced oxygen evolution and reduction reactions in efficient zinc-air battery systems by Md Iftekher Hossain, Foysal Kabir Tareq, Souman Rudra

“…Moreover, the higher redox potentials of Ni and Fe oxidation states relative to TiO2's conduction band enable them to function as efficient electron acceptors, stabilizing charge carriers and accelerating reduction reactions. Electrochemical analysis reveals that NiFe-doped TiO2 exhibits superior conductivity and reduced charge transfer resistance compared to its single-element-doped counterparts, facilitating faster reaction kinetics. …”
