EcoEnergy, EarlyView.An overview of grain boundary engineering in the field of electrocatalysis. ABSTRACT Key electrocatalytic reactions such as HER, OER, ORR, CO2RR, and NRR offer promising routes for storing renewable energy as chemical fuels. However, their widespread application is constrained due to the lack of highly active and stable catalysts. Grain boundaries (GBs)

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.Dry‐processed thick cathodes can increase battery energy density, but uneven reactions accelerate degradation. This work shows that the position of high‐nickel cathode material is critical. Placing NCM811 near the current collector and NCM622 near the separator reduces local overreaction, particle cracking, metal crossover, and interphase growth ...

Quantitative Insights into Atomic Scale Oil–Clay Adhesion Governing Shale Oil Retention and Mobility
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Atomic force microscopy reveals a clear adhesion hierarchy between shale oil and clay minerals, governed by nanoscale surface chemistry. Strong interactions on chlorite and illite arise from abundant polar sites and cation bridging, whereas weaker coupling on montmorillonite limits interfacial binding.
