To review surface and interfacial optimization strategies for single crystal electrocatalysts and identify pathways for their transition from fundamental research to industrial energy conversion.
Evaluated catalytic performance across metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and organic single crystals in water splitting and carbon or nitrogen cycle reactions.
Analyzed structural regulation mechanisms, including interfacial atomic doping, surface modification, heterostructure construction, and in situ atomic-scale characterization.
Assessed emerging synthesis frameworks, such as artificial intelligence-assisted design and bio-template directed growth, along with stability-enhancing interface designs.
Interfacial atomic doping and heterostructure engineering systematically optimize active site distributions, electronic band structures, and mass transport kinetics.
Gradient interface design and organic-inorganic hybridization strategies effectively suppress material degradation and preserve catalytic stability under demanding operational conditions.
