TL;DR: The design introduces material components to provide a dedicated charge-transport pathway, alleviating the reliance on the materials' intrinsic properties, and therefore has the potential to greatly broaden where and how various existing materials can be used in energy-related applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a general strategy of forming heteronanostructures to help meet the charge transport challenge was introduced within the context of two material platforms, webbed nanonets and vertically aligned transparent conductive nanotubes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the barriers that chemists must overcome to realize this technology and enable commercial use of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction, and outline design strategies for gasdiffusion electrodes and electrolyzers that follow fundamental principles of catalysis to bridge the gap between catalyst discovery and integrated system engineering.

TL;DR: It is shown that crystalline WO3 can be synthesized by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method in the true ALD regime, and that a long H2O pulse time is necessary to initiate growth is a key finding of this work.

TL;DR: Spectroscopic and electrochemical studies show that a molecular iridium catalyst for water oxidation directly and robustly binds to oxide surfaces without the need for any external stimulus or additional linking groups, and that it is capable of sustaining high activity towards water oxidation with stability comparable to state-of-the-art bulk metal oxide catalysts.
