Existing reviews mainly compare catalyst identities and electrochemical metrics, whereas the catalyst-loading route itself governs catalyst distribution in three-dimensional felts, manufacturability, maintenance mode, and cost-scaling from laboratory cells to commercial stacks. This Review uses metal-based multifunctional catalytic layers as a representative platform to compare two routes for catalytic negative electrodes: preloading before cell assembly and in-situ construction from electrolyte-borne metal ions during operation. We first organize an evidence framework for electrode evaluation, highlighting operando and spatially resolved diagnostics that distinguish catalyst-related improvements from changes in wetting and mass transport and directly detect HER in porous felts. We then analyze representative preloaded and in-situ-constructed metal systems and show that the two routes follow fundamentally different techno-economic logics: preloading is constrained by area-dependent fabrication, uniformity control, and refurbishment burdens, whereas in-situ construction shifts the intervention toward low-dose electrolyte additives, electrochemical conditioning, and operation-integrated maintenance. On this basis, we propose an application-oriented framework spanning activity, HER suppression, stability, cost-effectiveness, and scalability, and argue that in-situ construction is currently the more deployment-oriented pathway, while preloading remains indispensable for catalyst discovery and mechanistic validation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":306,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage Materials","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 105176"},"PeriodicalIF":20.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147850383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
