However, the practical implementation of ZABs still faces challenges, primarily attributed to the sluggish kinetics of oxygen-involved reactions, including oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during the discharge and charge process. Therefore, searching for efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is crucial to address these challenges. Dual-atom catalysts (DACs), an extension of single-atom catalysts (SACs), exhibit flexible architectures that allow for the combination of homogeneous and/or heterogeneous active sites, making them highly attractive for improving bifunctional activity. In this review, we first introduce the basic framework of ZABs and the structural characteristics of DACs. Subsequently, we organize the research progress on applying DACs in liquid and solid-state ZABs and elaborate on their unique catalytic mechanism. Finally, we highlight the challenges and future research directions for further innovation of DACs in ZABs.

In this review, the recent major developments of the regulation strategies for modulating electronic structure and geometric construction of carbon-based SACs/DACs are summarized. For the SACs, the recently reported modulation methods are categorized into four strategies, including adjusting the density of single atoms, defect engineering, confinement effect and strain engineering. And for the DACs, the five methods contain bonded dual-atom adjustment, non-bonded and bridged dual-atom adjustment, metal and nonmetal dual-atom adjustment, bilayer dual-atom adjustment and homogeneous dual-atom adjustment. The recently developed synthetic strategies are comprehensively summarized, especially their electronic structure and geometric configuration are discussed in detail, the different catalytic applications of electrochemical reactions, and their unique catalytic mechanism are highlighted.

In this study, we provide a comprehensive review of prior research focusing on two-phase modeling of PEM electrolyzers, encompassing both components at mesoscopic scales and the full electrolyzer at the macroscopic level. We delve into the specifics of various modeling approaches for two-phase flow at different scales and summarize and discuss the current state of the art in the field.

However, mesoscopic and microscopic models capable of tracking phase interfaces are limited to components.

Future efforts should focus on developing multi-scale models and simulating two-phase flow under fluctuating input conditions.

This paper critically examines the battery and hydrogen hybrid energy storage systems. Both technologies face limitations hindering them from fully meeting future energy storage needs, such as large storage capacity in limited space, frequent storage with rapid response, and continuous storage without loss. Batteries, with their rapid response (<1 s) and high efficiency (>90 %), excel in frequent short-duration energy storage. However, limitations such as a self-discharge rate (>1 %) and capacity loss (∼20 %) restrict their use for long-duration energy storage. Hydrogen, as a potential energy carrier, is suitable for large-scale, long-duration energy storage due to its high energy density, steady state, and low loss. Nevertheless, it is less efficient for frequent energy storage due to its low storage efficiency (∼50 %). Ongoing research suggests that a battery and hydrogen hybrid energy storage system could combine the strengths of both technologies to meet the growing demand for large-scale, long-duration energy storage. To assess their applied potentials, this paper provides a detailed analysis of the research status of both energy storage technologies using proposed key performance indices.
