Ferroelectric Catalysts in the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: A Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This perspective summarizes recent advances in ferroelectric (FE) catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). It first introduces HER fundamentals and FE mechanisms, then classifies FE catalysts into single‐phase, single‐atom‐modified, heterostructured, and other engineered types, with representative examples.

Chlorine‐Functionalized Silane‐Modified Copper Electrocatalyst for Enhanced CO2 Reduction to Multi‐Carbon Products

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A chlorine‐functionalized silane modifier (CPTMS) is introduced to cooperatively regulate CO2 reduction to C2+ products on Cu‐based catalysts. Dual‐functional interface sequentially enhances CO2 activation, intermediates protonation and C─C coupling, delivering a 5‐fold increase in C2+ faradaic efficiency (FE, 75% vs.

Covalently Integrated Selenoviologen–N‐Heterocyclic Carbene–Pt Nanoparticles for Visible‐Light‐Driven Hydrogen Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A covalently integrated single‐component photocatalyst is constructed by anchoring selenoviologen to platinum nanoparticles via robust N‐heterocyclic carbene ligands. The resulting Pt─C covalent bonds function dually as protective structural scaffolds and direct channels for ultrafast intramolecular electron transfer This precise interfacial ...

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Unveiling Mechanisms of SEI Formation and Sodium Loss in Sodium Batteries via Interface Reactor Sampling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An “Interface Reactor” strategy boosts simulation stability by 2–3 orders of magnitude, enabling stable 100 ns molecular dynamics of electrode‐electrolyte interfaces. Distinct SEI formation mechanisms are revealed: mixed co‐formation in carbonates versus surface‐energy‐controlled NaF crystallization in ethers. Metadynamics simulations further elucidate

Maximizing the Energy Output of Soft Electrohydraulic Generators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Many energy resources cannot be viably harvested with electromagnetic generators. This article evaluates the potential of soft electrohydraulic generators as an alternative approach for energy capture. An analytical model charts their operational limits and a rigorous experimental study results in new performance benchmarks with maximum specific energy

Thermally Assisted Photocatalytic Dehydrogenation of Methanol in Continuous Steady‐State Operation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Thermally assisted photocatalytic methanol dehydrogenation on Pt/TiO2 enables formaldehyde and hydrogen production far beyond thermodynamic limits. Continuous operation delivers up to 95% selectivity over 70 h, and oxygen microdosing strongly boosts conversion by regenerating surface oxygen sites.

Metal Active‐Site Exposure via Ligand Engineering Boosts CO2‐to‐Ethylene Conversion on Cu18 Nanoclusters

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through quantitative ligand stripping of [Cu18H17(PR3)10]+ nanoclusters via intramolecular interaction modulation, selectivity for CO2 electroreduction to C2H4 is significantly enhanced. The weakly coordinating ligand triggers dual‐ligand stripping (FEC2H4 = 70.59%), whereas the strongly coordinating ligand results in single‐ligand retention (FEC2H4 ...

Unsuccessful Coupling of Weakly Coordinating Anion–Based Mg Salts and Alkoxyalkylamine Solvents for Rechargeable Mg Battery Application: Trace Water‐Driven Interfacial Failure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combining recently established two ground‐breaking concepts, the adoption of WCAs and the use of alkoxyalkylamine‐based solvents in electrolyte formulations for rechargeable magnesium metal batteries, has led to unexpectedly unsuccessful electrochemical Mg plating/stripping performance. Comprehensive experimental and computational analyses revealed the

Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐
