Abstract
In a recent issue of Nature, Sun et al. describe a self-regenerating NiCoP–Cr2O3 cathode for seawater electrolysis. Their “corrosion-to-protection” strategy uses redox-driven surface reconstruction to form adaptive shield layers during shutdown, enabling 10,000-h stability. This breakthrough bridges corrosion science with electrocatalysis, redefining interfacial dynamics for intermittent water electrolysis.
