Funding Information: The ambition of developing and deploying clean energy technologies as part of the worlds? climate and clean energy transition policies has created significant pressure on the demand for raw critical materials needed for catalytic reactions. Some examples include their application to promote oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER, HER) for water splitting, hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) for the synthesis of solar fuels and in Li?CO2 batteries. For example, Pt-based catalysts (typically supported on carbon black) are the most efficient solutions for ORR and HOR, while metal oxides (e.g., RuO2, IrO2) are used for OER and HER [8,9]. To alleviate such strains on the demand of critical materials, research efforts are directed towards the development of non-precious metal-based catalysts. Even though some transition metals (e.g., Fe, Co, Ni) complexes have proved to be promising for these reactions, there are still challenges concerning their performance, stability, and long-term operational durability, when compared to commercially available catalysts based on precious metals [10,11].Y.A.K. acknowledges the financial support from the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grant funded by the Korea government (MSIP) (No. 2021R1I1A305628711).
