1 Introduction Worldwide, increasing energy demand and pressing environmental issues necessitate efficient and cheap green hydrogen production, with electrochemical water splitting being a pivotal method for a sustainable hydrogen economy.[1, 2] Yet, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), one of the two half reactions of water splitting, is a limiting factor for this purpose due to its slow reaction kinetics and high energy consumption.[3, 4] Traditional noble metal-based catalysts like IrO2...

Quantitatively Detecting and Characterizing Metallic Lithium in Lithium-based Batteries Rechargeable lithium (Li)-based batteries, including Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Li-metal batteries (LMBs), are essential energy storage devices. However, their electrochemical performance in practical applications is affected by Li electroplating characters and accompanying inevitable dendrite growth, which undermines their safety and longevity.
