Adsorption of sulfur (S) significantly reduces the electrochemically active surface area of platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), namely, S poisoning. Mitigation techniques against S poisoning are strongly desired for highly durable PEMFCs. A Pt single-crystal surface was demonstrated to be modified with cerium (Ce) species by being immersed in a Ce-containing aqueous solution with hydrogen (H₂) gas bubbling or potential holding at −0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl. For a Ce-free Pt electrode, electrochemical responses characteristic of the adsorption/desorption of hydrogen and hydroxyl species at the bare Pt surface disappeared due to the adsorbed elemental sulfur, S_ad, while the oxidative desorption of S_ad from the Pt electrode occurred at around 0.80 V vs. Ag/AgCl. In contrast, for the Ce-modified Pt electrode, the oxidative desorption of S_ad occurred at a potential around 0.3 V which is less positive (more negative) than that of Ce-free Pt electrode, showing the enhanced oxidative desorption capability due to the presence of Ce species on the surface. While the Ce species was desorbed from the Pt electrode simultaneously with the oxidative desorption of S_ad, the Pt surface can be re-modified with the Ce species by H₂ gas bubbling or potential holding at −0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl, which is a similar condition to that of anode of PEMFC under operations. Thus, the Ce-modification of Pt surfaces potentially acts as a practical mitigation measure against the S poisoning.

硫(S)的吸附显著降低了聚合物电解质膜燃料电池（pemfc）中铂（Pt）电催化剂的电化学活性表面积，即S中毒。对于高度耐用的pemfc，迫切需要针对S中毒的缓解技术。将Pt单晶表面浸泡在含Ce的水溶液中，使氢气（H2）鼓泡或电位保持在−0.2 V /Ag /AgCl下，证明了铈（Ce）可以修饰Pt单晶表面。对于无ce Pt电极，由于吸附了单质硫（Sad），裸Pt表面的氢和羟基的吸附/解吸特征消失，而在0.80 V /Ag /AgCl左右，Pt电极上的Sad发生氧化解吸。相比之下，对于Ce修饰的Pt电极，Sad的氧化脱附发生在0.3 V左右的电位下，该电位比无Ce修饰的Pt电极的正极电位少（负极电位多），表明由于表面存在Ce物质而增强了氧化脱附能力。Ce在Pt电极上的脱附过程与Sad的氧化脱附过程同时进行，通过H2气体鼓泡或电位保持在- 0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl下，Ce可以在Pt表面进行再修饰，这与PEMFC阳极的操作条件相似。因此，铂表面的ce修饰有可能作为一种实际的缓解S中毒的措施。

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) represent a promising clean energy technology due to their high efficiency and fuel flexibility; however, accurate estimation of internal electrochemical parameters remains critical for achieving reliable system performance under diverse operating conditions. Traditional parameter identification methods often face challenges such as slow convergence, premature optimization stagnation, and computational inefficiency, especially when dealing with high-dimensional, nonlinear SOFC models. To overcome these issues, this study proposes a Surrogate-Assisted Differential Evolution with Multi-Sampling Mechanism (SADE-MSM) algorithm, integrating surrogate modeling, centroid sampling, global prescreening, and adaptive local search strategies to optimize SOFC parameters efficiently while minimizing expensive real function evaluations. The SADE-MSM approach was validated through extensive experimental studies involving ten different SOFC operational cases across varied temperatures and pressures, and its performance was benchmarked against nine leading metaheuristic algorithms. Results show that SADE-MSM consistently achieved the lowest mean squared error (MSE), fastest convergence rates, and highest robustness, outperforming all comparative methods in both accuracy and computational cost. Theoretically, these findings validate the effectiveness of hybrid surrogate-assisted evolutionary frameworks for complex multimodal optimization problems, while practically they demonstrate that SADE-MSM enables real-time SOFC parameter estimation suitable for applications in microgrids, hybrid renewable systems, and predictive control platforms. Readers benefit from a robust, efficient methodology that enhances SOFC modeling and operational reliability, while future work aims to extend SADE-MSM to fully dynamic, online optimization scenarios under real-world uncertainties such as system aging, transient loads, and sensor noise.

固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFCs）由于其高效率和燃料灵活性，代表了一种很有前途的清洁能源技术；然而，准确估计内部电化学参数对于在各种操作条件下实现可靠的系统性能仍然至关重要。传统的参数识别方法在处理高维非线性SOFC模型时，往往面临着收敛速度慢、优化停滞过早和计算效率低下等挑战。为了克服这些问题，本研究提出了一种基于多采样机制的代理辅助差分进化（SADE-MSM）算法，该算法集成了代理建模、质心采样、全局预筛选和自适应局部搜索策略，以有效地优化SOFC参数，同时最大限度地减少昂贵的真实函数评估。SADE-MSM方法通过在不同温度和压力下的10种不同SOFC操作案例进行了广泛的实验研究，并与9种领先的元启发式算法对其性能进行了基准测试。结果表明，SADE-MSM具有最小的均方误差（MSE）、最快的收敛速度和最高的鲁棒性，在精度和计算成本方面优于所有比较方法。从理论上讲，这些发现验证了混合代理辅助进化框架在复杂多模态优化问题中的有效性，而实际上，它们表明SADE-MSM能够实现适用于微电网、混合可再生系统和预测控制平台应用的实时SOFC参数估计。读者将受益于强大、高效的方法，增强SOFC建模和运行可靠性，而未来的工作旨在将sde - msm扩展到现实世界不确定性（如系统老化、瞬态负载和传感器噪声）下的完全动态、在线优化场景。

Solid-state electrolytes have attracted significant attention due to their high safety, mechanical stability, and compatibility with lithium metal anodes, making them a critical component in the development of next-generation all-solid-state batteries. Polymer-based solid electrolytes (PSEs) offer advantages such as flexibility, processability, and good interfacial contact with electrodes but suffer from low structural stability. In this study, PSEs were fabricated by photopolymerization from ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate and expanded illite (EI) functional filler. The PSEs synthesized with 4 wt% EI show a favorable ionic conductivity of 2.31 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ at 25 °C and an all-solid-state Li/NCM622 coin cell using the PSE as the electrolyte delivered a discharge capacity of 129.5 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1C with 98 % Coulombic efficiency. In addition, the EI-containing PSE exhibited improved mechanical strength, enabling the fabrication of a flexible all-solid-state Li-metal battery pouch cell. This study offers valuable insight into the design of PSEs using clay-based fillers.

Researchers have conducted in-depth investigations into lithium-ion battery models. However, a notable limitation of existing models lies in the assumption of infinitely conductive current collectors, which compromises simulation accuracy. Herein, we present a model that explicitly accounts for current collector resistance, employing Kirchhoff's circuit laws and a suitable discretization method to characterize the associated current density and SoC distribution in all-solid-state thin-film batteries. Simulation results demonstrate that the highest SoC occurs near the charging tab, leading to preferential full-charge in this region. Intriguingly, when charging is interrupted at this stage, the battery enters a self-balancing state: the state of charge SoC near the tab gradually decreases. At the same time, SoC in other regions increases, culminating in a homogeneous SoC across the entire battery. This phenomenon reflects the underlying process of lithium-ion redistribution. Additionally, a larger resistance disparity between cathodic and anodic current collectors creates an inhomogeneous current density distribution, thereby accelerating localized battery aging. The approach adopted by our model exhibits broad generality and can be readily adapted to other battery types.

研究人员对锂离子电池模型进行了深入调查。然而，现有模型的一个显着局限性在于假设无限导电集流器，这损害了模拟精度。本文采用Kirchhoff电路定律和合适的离散化方法，提出了一个明确考虑集电极电阻的模型，以表征全固态薄膜电池中相关的电流密度和SoC分布。仿真结果表明，最高荷电状态出现在充电片附近，导致该区域优先充满电。有趣的是，当充电在此阶段中断时，电池进入自平衡状态：标签附近的充电SoC状态逐渐减少。与此同时，其他区域的SoC也在增加，最终在整个电池中实现均匀的SoC。这种现象反映了锂离子再分配的潜在过程。此外，阴极和阳极集流器之间较大的电阻差造成电流密度分布不均匀，从而加速局部电池老化。我们的模型所采用的方法具有广泛的通用性，可以很容易地适用于其他类型的电池。

Platinum (Pt) based electrocatalysts remain the gold standard for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic environments due to their optimal hydrogen adsorption-free energy (ΔG_H⁎ ≈ 0), high electrical conductivity, and superior chemical stability. However, the scarcity and high cost of Pt necessitate innovative strategies to reduce Pt loading while enhancing catalytic efficiency and long-term durability. This review systematically presents the recent advancements in Pt-based HER electrocatalysts, emphasizing mechanistic insights across the Volmer, Heyrovsky, and Tafel steps, and explores the influence of Pt’s electronic structure and nanostructuring on HER kinetics. Strategies such as alloying with transition metals (e.g., Ni, Co, Zn), developing single-atom catalysts (SACs), and engineering hybrid systems with supports like MXenes, graphene aerogels, and metal carbides are discussed in detail. These approaches optimize active site exposure, electronic modulation, and catalyst-support interactions to achieve high turnover frequencies, low overpotentials, and enhanced electrochemical stability under industrially relevant conditions. The review further highlights key performance indicators such as Tafel slope, mass activity, TOF, and stability, along with advanced synthesis methods, including atomic layer deposition and microwave-assisted reduction. Finally, current challenges in scalability, degradation resistance, and cost-performance trade-offs are evaluated, providing future directions toward sustainable, high-performance HER systems based on Pt. This comprehensive analysis aims to bridge the gap between fundamental catalyst design and practical hydrogen production technologies.

Transition metal sulfides have drawn a lot of interest in the field of electrochemical energy storage. However, their performance is hampered due to the stacking faults during the electrode fabrication. In this study, we report the Zn-doped Ni₃S₂ vertically grown 2-dimensional nanostructures on the conductive nickel foam by a one-step, rapid, energy-efficient, and cost-effective microwave-assisted method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analyses confirmed the morphological and phase composition as initially identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical investigations substantiated the boosted performance of the electrode, an impressive specific capacitance value of 1984 F g⁻¹ and 5.95 F cm⁻² at a discharge current of 3 mA cm⁻². Later on, this electrode, when tested in a Swagelok cell as a positive electrode and graphene nano pellets as a negative electrode, achieved a maximum energy density of 45.5 Whkg⁻¹ and 910 Wkg⁻¹ power at a discharge current rate of 1 A g⁻¹. The pseudocapacitive characteristics of this binder-free nanostructured electrode, driven by reversible redox reactions, highlight their potential for high-performance energy storage applications.

过渡金属硫化物在电化学储能领域引起了广泛的关注。然而，由于电极在制造过程中存在堆积缺陷，影响了其性能。在这项研究中，我们报道了通过一步、快速、节能和经济的微波辅助方法在导电泡沫镍上垂直生长zn掺杂Ni3S2的二维纳米结构。透射电子显微镜（TEM）和高分辨率透射电子显微镜（HR-TEM）分析证实了最初通过扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和x射线衍射（XRD）鉴定的形态和相组成。电化学研究证实了电极的性能提高，在放电电流为3 mA cm−2时，比电容值为1984 F g−1和5.95 F cm−2。随后，该电极在世伟洛克电池中作为正极和石墨烯纳米颗粒作为负极进行测试，在放电电流为1 ag−1的情况下，获得了45.5 Whkg−1和910 Wkg−1的最大能量密度。这种无粘结剂纳米结构电极的赝电容特性，由可逆氧化还原反应驱动，突出了它们在高性能储能应用中的潜力。

Ru- and Ir-oxides have considerable attentions as acidic oxygen evolution electrocatalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis. However, there have been no reports of comparative study of electrochemical stability depending on the surface orientations. Here, we prepared the (hkl)-oriented (hkl = 110, 001, 100) RuO₂ and IrO₂ thin films on rutile-TiO₂ single crystal substrates by arc-plasma deposition and investigated the surface orientation dependence of electrochemical stability under oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 0.1 M HClO₄. At the initial state, RuO₂ showed a lower OER overpotential and smaller Tafel slope compared to IrO₂ for all the surface orientations. However, the overpotential of RuO₂ steeply increased during chronopotentiometry (CP) measurements, while the overpotential increase for IrO₂ was significantly suppressed. After the CP measurement, the overpotential of IrO₂ became smaller than that of RuO₂ for all the surface orientation. RuO₂ shows orientation dependence on the stability number, i.e. ratio of total charges used for CP and dissolution amount of Ru or Ir, while the IrO₂ didn't show a clear trend. The results demonstrated that the surface orientation of both RuO₂ and IrO₂ affects not only the activity, but also the stability, and elemental dissolution and the influence is more significant for RuO₂.

Ru和ir氧化物作为聚合物电解质膜电解的酸性析氧电催化剂受到了广泛的关注。然而，目前还没有关于表面取向对电化学稳定性影响的比较研究报道。本文采用电弧等离子体沉积方法在金红石- tio2单晶衬底上制备了（hkl）取向（hkl = 110、001、100）的RuO2和IrO2薄膜，并在0.1 M HClO4中研究了表面取向对电化学稳定性的影响。在初始状态下，与IrO2相比，RuO2在所有表面取向上都表现出更低的OER过电位和更小的Tafel斜率。然而，在时间电位测量（CP）期间，RuO2过电位急剧增加，而IrO2过电位的增加明显受到抑制。CP测量后，在所有表面取向上，IrO2的过电位都小于RuO2。RuO2的取向依赖于稳定数，即CP的总电荷比与Ru或Ir的溶出量，而IrO2的取向依赖不明显。结果表明，RuO2和IrO2的表面取向不仅影响其活性，而且影响其稳定性，其中元素溶解对RuO2的影响更为显著。

To support clean hydrogen energy, we present a niobium-doped molybdenum diselenide integrated with nickel telluride (Nb-MoSe₂–NiTe) heterostructure as an efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media. Nb-doping modulates the electronic structure of MoSe₂, while NiTe contributes to enhanced conductivity and introduces additional active interfacial sites. Structural and surface characterizations confirm successful doping and heterostructure formation. The optimized Nb-MoSe₂–NiTe composition achieves a low overpotential of 395 mV at 50 mA/cm² and a Tafel slope of 242 mV/dec, along with a high ECSA of 377.5 cm². These enhancements result from synergistic interactions that promote charge transfer and hydrogen adsorption. The Nb-MoSe₂–NiTe offers a promising platform for cost-effective HER catalysis, demonstrating a rational strategy that integrates electronic and interfacial engineering for sustainable hydrogen production.

为了支持清洁氢能源，我们提出了一种掺杂铌的二硒化钼与碲化镍（Nb-MoSe2-NiTe）异质结构，作为酸性介质中析氢反应（HER）的高效电催化剂。铌掺杂调节了MoSe2的电子结构，而NiTe则有助于增强电导率并引入额外的活性界面位点。结构和表面表征证实了成功的掺杂和异质结构的形成。优化后的Nb-MoSe2-NiTe组合物在50 mA/cm2时的过电位为395 mV， Tafel斜率为242 mV/dec， ECSA高达377.5 cm2。这些增强是由于促进电荷转移和氢吸附的协同相互作用。Nb-MoSe2-NiTe为具有成本效益的HER催化提供了一个有前途的平台，展示了一种合理的策略，将电子和界面工程集成在一起，实现可持续的氢气生产。
