However, achieving high performance under dual pH conditions remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of multi-sized RuO<sub>2</sub> sub-nanoclusters on Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoarrays via a facile method, which demonstrates exceptional OER activity in both acidic and alkaline environments. The optimized catalyst exhibits remarkably low overpotentials of 165 mV in 0.5 M H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> and 223 mV in 1 M KOH at a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>, respectively. Additionally, it exhibits outstanding stability, maintaining performance over a 10-h continuous operation, which is attributed to the robust structural stability of the dispersed RuO<sub>2</sub> sub-nanocluster morphology. Atomic-scale investigations reveal a layer-by-layer growth mechanism of Ru on the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> substrate, transitioning from single atoms to monolayer clusters and ultimately to sub-nanoclusters as Ru loading increases. This growth mechanism provides a rational strategy for the precise design and synthesis of advanced cluster-based catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further elucidate the strong oxide-support interactions between RuO<sub>2</sub> clusters and the Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> matrix, facilitating electron transfer from RuO<sub>2</sub> to Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> and generating an electron-deficient region. This electronic modulation enhances –OH adsorption and accelerates OER kinetics. These findings underscore the potential of metal sub-nanoclusters for designing highly efficient and durable electrocatalysts for water electrolysis.</p><p>\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inf2.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing these challenges requires reproducible, user-independent laboratory processes and intelligent experimental preselection. Traditional trial-and-error methods and manual analysis are inefficient and urgently need advanced strategies. Automated acceleration platforms have transformed this field by improving efficiency, minimizing errors, and ensuring consistency. This review summarizes recent developments in machine learning-driven automation for perovskite photovoltaics, with a focus on its application in new transport material discovery, composition screening, and device preparation optimization. Furthermore, the review introduces the concept of the self-driven Autonomous Material and Device Acceleration Platforms (AMADAP) laboratory and discusses potential challenges it may face.

Particularly in electronic phase-change memory applications, distinguishing these glasses from neighboring compositions that do not possess memory capabilities is inherently difficult when employing traditional analytical methods. This has led to a dilemma in materials design since an atomistic view of the arrangement in the amorphous state is the key to understanding and optimizing the functionality of these glasses. To tackle this challenge, we present a machine learning (ML) approach to separate electronic phase-change materials (ePCMs) from other chalcogenides, based upon subtle differences in the short-range order inside the glassy phase. Leveraging the established structure–property relations in chalcogenide glasses, we select suitable features to train accurate machine learning models, even with a modestly sized dataset. The trained model accurately discerns the critical transition point between glass compositions suitable for use as ePCMs and those that are not, particularly for both GeTe–GeSe and Sb<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub>–Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> materials, in line with experiments. Furthermore, by extracting the physical knowledge that the ML model has offered, we pinpoint three pivotal structural features of amorphous chalcogenides, that is, the bond angle, packing efficiency, and the length of the fourth bond, which provide a map for materials design with the ability to “predict” and “explain”. All three of the above features point to the smaller Peierls-like distortion and more well-defined octahedral clusters in amorphous ePCMs than non-ePCMs. Our study delves into the mechanisms shaping these structural attributes in amorphous ePCMs, yielding valuable insights for the AI-powered discovery of novel materials.</p><p>\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":48538,"journal":{"name":"Infomat","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inf2.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the primary challenge hindering the commercial adoption of hydrogel-based sensors is their lack of high stability, which arises from the high water content within the hydrogel structure, leading to freezing at subzero temperatures and drying issues if the protective layer is compromised. These factors result in a significant decline in the benefits offered by aqueous gel electrolytes, particularly in terms of mechanical properties and conductivity, which are crucial for flexible wearable electronics. Previous reports have highlighted several disadvantages associated with using cryoprotectant co-solvents and lower mechanical properties for ion-doped anti-freezing hydrogel sensors. In this study, the design and optimization of a photocrosslinkable ionic hydrogel utilizing silk methacrylate as a novel natural crosslinker are presented. This innovative hydrogel demonstrates significantly enhanced mechanical properties, including stretchability (>1825%), tensile strength (2.49 MPa), toughness (9.85 MJ m<sup>–</sup><sup>3</sup>), and resilience (4% hysteresis), compared to its non-ion-doped counterpart. Additionally, this hydrogel exhibits exceptional nonfreezing behavior down to −85°C, anti-drying properties with functional stability up to 2.5 years, and a signal drift of only 5.35% over 2450 cycles, whereas the control variant, resembling commonly reported hydrogels, exhibits a signal drift of 149.8%.
