Operando X‐Ray Absorption Spectroscopy Reveals Dynamic Interfacial Metal–Metal Coordination Governing CO2 Reduction Selectivity in PdAg Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Operando X‐ray absorption spectroscopy uncovers dynamic Ag–Pd coordination in PdxAg1−x electrocatalysts during CO2 reduction. Partial oxidation of Ag and composition‐dependent metal–metal bonding synergistically regulate intermediate binding, enabling ∼91% CO selectivity.

Topography‐Regulated Screening Platform for Myoblast Contact Guidance

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study develops a topography‐regulated screening platform (12 gradients in 96‐topography‐well plate) enabling analysis of skeletal muscle morphogenesis. The topography‐induced cell morphology changed, cell polarization, and myotube differentiation, establishing an evaluative framework for generating pathologically relevant myotube phenotypes to ...
