Fluoride‐Free Adhesives for Low Surface Energy Fluorinated Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.

Dual‐Atom Dopants Activated Ruthenium Single‐Atom Alloy Boosting Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalysis in Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ni1‐Bi1 dual‐atom dopants are achieved for activating Ru lattices without blocking noble atoms. This model exhibits an ultralow overpotential of 11.4 mV and superb stability at 10 mA cm−2 toward hydrogen evolution reaction, enabling a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer that needs only 2.233 V to reach 3.0 A cm−2 and operates stably at 1.0 A cm−
