Topochemical exfoliation of metal oxyhydroxides for the electrolytic oxygen evolution reaction

A topochemical oxidation process is developed to exfoliate metal oxyhydroxides, in which active oxygen species and alkali cations modulate interlayer repulsion. The resulting Cs⁺-CoFeOOH nanosheets demonstrate exceptional electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction.

Charge redistribution dynamics in chalcogenide-stabilized cuprous electrocatalysts unleash ampere-scale partial current toward formate production

Electrochemical CO₂ reduction to formate offers a sustainable route but has been difficult to achieve selectively on transition metals. Here, the authors show that chalcogenide-stabilized Cu⁺, via charge redistribution, enables near-complete formate production with industrially relevant efficiency.

Activating dynamic atomic-configuration for single-site electrocatalyst in electrochemical CO₂ reduction

Comprehensive understanding of Cu state is of high interest for CO₂ electroconversion. Here, the authors reveal a dynamic low-coordinated Cu center as active site for CO₂ to CO conversion and propose atomic surface charge as an indicator for evaluating CO₂ electroreduction performance.

In situ X-ray spectroscopies beyond conventional X-ray absorption spectroscopy on deciphering dynamic configuration of electrocatalysts

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has become an indispensable tool to investigate dynamic natures of electrocatalysts. In this perspective, advanced X-ray spectroscopies are highlighted in a complementary way, providing a promising research model for solid-liquid interface and (electro)catalysis studies.
