Mass‐Transport–Engineered CCM Architecture Employing MPL‐Free Carbon Paper and Graphene‐Coated Ni Foam Channels for High‐Temperature PEM Fuel Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A CCM‐based architectural strategy is introduced for high‐temperature PEM fuel cells, enabling MPL‐free carbon paper gas diffusion layers via decal‐transfer processing. By co‐engineering the CCM, GDL, and a G‐foam flow field, oxygen transport is enhanced while phosphoric‐acid leakage is suppressed, resulting in high power density and stable operation ...

Data‐ and Theory‐Guided Design of Dual‐Role V‐Doped RuO2 for High‐Performance Acidic Oxygen Evolution

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A data‐ and theory‐guided paradigm, leveraging large‐scale data mining of 718 catalysts and microkinetic modeling, identifies V‐doped RuO2 as optimal for acidic OER. Vanadium doping drives electron withdrawal from Ru centers, generating Lewis acidic sites that polarize O–H bonds and accelerate deprotonation kinetics. Experimental validation achieves an

Beyond d‐Band Catalysis: A Critical Review and Descriptor Framework for Rare‐Earth Engineering in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rare‐earth catalysts regulate lithium–sulfur battery chemistry through f‐orbital–mediated interactions, enabling simultaneous polysulfide adsorption and catalytic conversion on conductive carbon hosts. This synergistic control suppresses the shuttle effect, accelerates redox kinetics, and guides stable Li2S nucleation, providing a mechanistic framework

Construction of Sabatier Volcanoes for CO2 Hydrogenation to C1‐2 Oxygenates Using Data‐Efficient Machine Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new data‐efficient framework combining DFT calculations, a neural network model, and automated graph analysis of catalytic reaction networks is proposed and applied to CO2 hydrogenation on transition metal nanoparticles. The analysis shows how efficient C2 oxygenate production requires a balance between CHx formation, C–C coupling, protonation, and ...

Atomic‐Level CuOx‐CoOx‐Pd Interfacial Engineering Enables Hierarchical Synergy for High‐Efficiency ORR Pathways and Boosted Power Output in Alkaline Fuel Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Atomically dispersed CuOx (CPCu‐1) forms isolated Cu–Ov sites that enable defect‐mediated O2 activation and fast electron/proton transfer via interfacial synergy. In contrast, thick CuOx clusters (CPCu‐10) promote a surface‐adsorption‐controlled pathway with intermediate accumulation, highlighting a mechanism switch from interfacial activation to ...

2D Inorganic Electrides: Interstitial Electrons as Key Drivers of Multifunctional Properties and Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Eight AB‐type 2D inorganic electrides with negatively charged transition metals are theoretically designed. Their monolayers exhibit intrinsic magnetic ordering, rich topological phases, and ultralow work functions. Supported metal Ru on these 2D inorganic electrides effectively alleviates hydrogen poisoning and enables efficient ammonia synthesis ...
