Collaborative Research: Linking Nanoscale Heterogeneities with Macroscale Reactivity of Electrocatalytic Materials

Making electrochemical materials more stable is a significant challenge. These materials are used in many energy technologies such as batteries and fuel cells. Tiny imperfections in the material — called defects — can cause the material to wear down faster. However, new experiments show that some very small, nanoscale defects might actually help…
