🎯Breaking the Constraints of "Disorder" and "Inertness":
The first paper utilizes Sn to transform "cationic disorder" into "local order."
The second paper uses nitrogen doping to transform "electrochemically inert" scandium oxide into "highly active" material.
This demonstrates that the potential of materials lies not in the elements themselves, but in the arrangement of atoms
💡Deep Optimization at the Electronic Level:
The second paper emphasizes "electron spin polarization," and the third paper emphasizes the "synergistic effect of atomic-level dispersion and nanoparticles."
This represents a shift in research from macroscopic material modification to manipulating electronic behavior to accelerate chemical reactions (such as ORR/OER).
🔋Balancing Stability and High Performance:
The first paper stabilizes anion redox reactions, and the third paper encapsulates metal particles using graphite nanovesicles.
This solves the common problem of "degradation" in highly active materials, which is crucial for commercial applications (such as electric vehicles and flexible wearable devices).
