Modulating Built-In Electric Field via Variable Oxygen Affinity for Robust Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Neutral Media

Lingling Zhai et al.

Summary: The correlation between work function and built-in electric field (BEF) is crucial for understanding the intrinsic reaction mechanism of metal-support electro-catalysts.

The hydrogen economy: A pragmatic path forward

Niall Mac Dowell et al.

Summary: For hydrogen to play a meaningful role in a sustainable energy system, all elements of the value chain must scale coherently. Efforts to definitively choose how to deliver this scaling up are premature. Net zero transition pathways need to be formulated in a way that is coherent with socio-political-economic constraints in order to have a realistic chance of success.
