Laplace‐Pressure‐Stabilized Rutile Solid‐Solution Catalysts for Acidic Water Oxidation: Enabling DSA‐Inspired Compositions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The miscibility of foreign elements in rutile‐type IrO2 and SnO2 is greatly enhanced under high Laplace pressure, where their crystal size is reduced to the nanoscale. This enhancement leads to the successful synthesis of DSA‐composition solid‐solution nanocatalysts with notable durability during the acidic OER in water electrolysis.

AgxZny Protective Coatings with Selective Zn2+/H+ Binding Enable Reversible Zn Anodes

, 2023
Zinc (Zn) metal anodes suffer from the dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in classical aqueous electrolytes, which severely limit their lifespan. We propose a rational design of AgxZny protective coatings with selective binding to Zn2+
