Liquid‐Metal Interfacial Chemistry for Crystal and Defect Engineering in Two‐Dimensional Post‐Transition‐Metal Materials

ABSTRACT Liquid‐metal‐derived 2D materials have emerged as a versatile class of ultrathin systems enabled by dynamic and chemically active liquid metal interfaces. The atomically smooth, self‐limiting surface layers formed at these interfaces provide unique pathways for the synth...

In Situ TEM Study of the Size-Dependent Solubility of Metals in Liquid Metal Nanodroplets

Abstract Characterizing metal solubilities in post-transition-based liquid metals remains challenging due to their inherent opacity to conventional light-based analytical techniques. In this work, we present an in situ heating methodology within a transmission electron microscope...

A Descriptor and Tool for Guiding Composition Design toward Developing Single- or Mixed/Hybrid-Phase “Layered” Transition Metal Oxide Cathode Materials for Na-Ion Batteries

Abstract The structure type and phase assemblage of “layered” Na-transition metal (TM) oxides dictate their performance as cathode materials, resulting in an impetus toward developing biphasic or hybrid Na-TM-oxides. However, a fundamental understanding as to what drives the form...

Charge‐Redistribution‐Driven Dual‐Single‐Atom Catalysts on MXene for Hydrogen Evolution

ABSTRACT The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) exhibits pH‐ and electrolyte‐dependent pathways, imposing intrinsic challenges on the development of catalysts that operate efficiently across wide pH conditions and in seawater electrolysis. Here, we report a dual‐single‐atom cataly...
