Ruthenium‐Titania Interface‐Mediated Water Activation for High Turnover Frequency in Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Heterostructured interfaces can accelerate hydrogen evolution by improving water dissociation, yet their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study combines in situ Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory to reveal how the RuO2/TiO2 interface promotes both water dissociation and hydrogen adsorption, providing new insights into the ...

A Review of Grain Boundaries: Formation Mechanism, Synthesis Strategy, and Application in Electrocatalysis

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)

Transition Metal Compounds as Thermochromic Materials: Classification, Properties, Limitations, and Applications

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

RuO2‐Based High‐Entropy Oxide and Its Asymmetric Catalysis on Polysulfide Conversion in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
RuO2‐based high‐entropy metal oxide shows an asymmetric catalysis on polysulfide conversion with an inferior kinetics enhancement of polysulfide generation, but a superior promotion of Li2S deposition, which greatly favors the inhibition of shuttle effect and the improvement of battery performance. High‐entropy oxides with five or more metal components
