Background Electrodeposition is a process that uses an electric current to deposit a layer of metal onto a conductive surface, essentially creating a coating on the material. Electrodeposition helps to protect against corrosion, enhance properties like conductivity, and achieve decorative finished in batteries (in addition to other porous substrates)....

Background Hydrogen (H2) offers a promising solution in the global energy transition toward net-zero-carbon, particularly for decarbonizing challenging sectors like long-distance transportation, heavy industries, and renewable energy storage. However, most hydrogen is now produced by large-scale natural gas reforming without carbon capture and storage. Water...

Background Recent advances in catalysis by single-atom catalysts (SACs) and cluster catalysts have highlighted the unique catalytic properties of highly dispersed metal species. The use of single metal atoms or small clusters for catalysis is not only cost-effective but also significantly enhances the selectivity of a targeted reaction, resulting in...
