COF-C4N, an effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst with a low overpotential, has ideal N-edge cavities for anchoring transition metal (TM) sites to achieve single atom catalysts (SACs) with higher OER activity. To screen out the optimal TM, two descriptors for characterizing the O...
