Mechanistically Interpretable Artificial Intelligence for Designing Oxygen Electrocatalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanistically interpretable artificial intelligence screens nearly seven million perovskite compositions and identifies key descriptors—d‐p hybridization and densification resistance—that govern oxygen electrocatalysis. The discovered BaCo0.8Nb0.1Zr0.1O3‐δ achieves a record 2.68 W cm−2 peak power density at 600°C with over 500 h of durable operation ...

Electrocatalyst/Semiconductor Interfaces in Photoelectrocatalysts: Mechanistic Analysis of the Impact of Nanoparticle Electrocatalyst Coverage on Performance

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Reducing Ni nanoparticle coverage on n‐Si photoanodes enhances photovoltage by promoting thicker interfacial SiOx formation during photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Experiments, analytical modeling, and finite‐element simulations reveal that coverage‐dependent chemical interface evolution, rather than geometric effects alone ...

Photolytic activation of Ni(II)X2L explains how Ni-mediated cross coupling begins

Nature Communications
Nickel photocatalysis has recently become vital to organic synthesis, but how the Ni(II)X2L pre-catalyst (X = Cl, Br; L = bidentate ligand) becomes activated to Ni(I)XL has remained puzzling and is typically addressed on a case-by-case basis.
