Up to now, the phenomenon of in-situ reconstruction of catalysts has become very common in the domains of environmental and energy catalysis, and has been extensively studied and widely received attention from researchers. However, how to understand the complex reconstruction mechanism and precisely control the in-situ reconstruction to sustain activity alongside stability under the in-situ reconstruction of electrocatalysts remains a huge challenge. Consequently, in order to further advance the understanding, control, and utilization of electrochemical in-situ reconstruction, it is highly necessary to jointly establish a precise design system ranging from pre-catalysts to electrochemical reaction conditions, and achieve an optimal trade-off between structure and performance. In this review, the factors as well as characterization techniques of electrochemical in-situ reconstruction are first described. Then, the strategies and applications for the modulation of electrochemical in-situ reconstruction for representative energy and environmental catalytic reactions are comprehensively discussed. Ultimately, the future challenges and opportunities of in-situ reconstruction are summarized.

Scaling from laboratory prototypes to pilot-scale production of large cells with high-energy density and high-performance ASSBs introduces new challenges. Large-scale electrode development necessitates selection of suitable polymeric binders that are compatible with sulfide electrolytes and exhibit strong binding forces for enhanced longevity. In this regard, we used rubber- and styrene-based polymeric binders in ASSBs and introduced a primer layer on the current collector, combining carbon conductive agents and polyvinylidene fluoride, to improve adhesion to the current collector. This primer layer reduces the binder content, which is an inactive component in the electrode, thereby diversifying Li-ion and electron conduction pathways and enhancing the ionic and electronic conductivity of the composite electrode. Furthermore, the primer layer not only prevents direct contact between the sulfide-based solid electrolyte and the Cu current collector but also blocks interactions between the Cu current collector and vaporized sulfur. By acting as a passivation layer, it effectively suppresses Cu corrosion. Consequently, a pouch-type full cell incorporating a primer layer demonstrated improved initial capacity and higher Coulombic efficiency under non-pressurized conditions. Specifically, the cell retained 80.7 % of its capacity after 100 cycles, demonstrating improved performance compared to uncoated full cells (64.8 %).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":386,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering: R: Reports","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 100970"},"PeriodicalIF":31.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143577289","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}
