Preferential Nucleation Sites Regulate Hydrogen Bubble Evolution on Mesh Electrodes

Hierarchical Superaerophobic Surfaces Control Bubble Kinetics and Electron Redistribution for Efficient Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Effective control of electrolyte wettability and gas bubble dynamics at electrode surface apart from the interfacial charge transfer kinetics regulates the performance of oxygen evolution reaction. This is facilitated by...

Ionomer microenvironment engineering regulates bubble detachment in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers

Efficient gas removal within catalyst layers remains a central limitation for anion exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWEs) operating at industrially relevant current densities. Bubble accumulation disrupts catalyst layer microenvironment, inducing...

From Parasitic Voids to Reactive Phases: Gas Bubbles as Electrified Microreactors

Gas bubbles in aqueous reactors are usually treated as liabilities; they mask active surfaces, disturb transport, and lower energy efficiency. Recent studies are starting to overturn this view. Curved gas–liquid...

Rapid Flame Treatment Enables Pt–NiO Interfaces for Electrocatalytic Ammonia Oxidation

Electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction, when coupled with hydrogen evolution reaction, offers an energy-saving anodic alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction. However, practical implementation is limited by sluggish multistep kinetics and...

Regulating interfacial reaction kinetics with a phosphoryl-functionalized separator for stable zinc metal anodes

Uncontrolled dendrite growth caused by inhomogeneous electrodeposition remains a major obstacle to the durable and resource-efficient operation of aqueous zinc metal batteries. Although interfacial reaction kinetics govern Zn deposition morphology,...
