被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：91.01(Chemistry, Physical)A strategic approach has been proposed for designing robust, high-performing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts tailored for saline water splitting. By employing a density functional theory (DFT)-based computational screening process, a set of promising dopants were identified from a range of 26 3d to 5d transition metals, with the aim of enhancing the activity and saline water resilience of the catalysts. The screening methodology was 3-fold, encompassing evaluations of OER energetics, chlorine evolution reaction (ClER) energetics, and chloride-corrosion energetics. The screening led to the selection of Sc as a promising dopant, which substantially elevated the performance of the NiFeOOH catalysts. This improvement was validated by an 87 mV decrease in OER overpotential at 100 mA/cm
and a 100 h stability test under 1 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl conditions. This study contributes to the understanding of the alkaline ClER and chloride-corrosion mechanisms, providing insights into catalyst behavior under saline conditions.

被引用回数：12 パーセンタイル：82.74(Chemistry, Physical)A multiscale water visualization technique for polymer electrolyte fuel cells was established by using 
multiprobe radiography with pulsed spallation neutron and synchrotron X-ray sources. The three-dimensional water distribution revealed that water back-diffusion from the cathode to the anode significantly contributes to the drainability of practical polymer electrolyte fuel cells toward fuel cell electric vehicles.

被引用回数：6 パーセンタイル：44.37(Chemistry, Physical)The behavior of Br/Br
redox mediator (RM), which has been shown to suppress charging overpotential in lithium-air batteries, has been detected for the first time using operando Br K-edge dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure. Br ions in the electrolyte increase monotonically after 
30% charging, which indicates that a part of Br formed via the oxidation of Br during charging does not oxidize Li
O as RM but gets accumulated in the cell. Consistent with this result, the O evolution efficiency gradually decreases from the initial 100% as the charging progresses, and CO is emitted at the end of the charging. All these results clearly show that the Br/Br RM functions effectively at the beginning of charging but gradually loses its function as charging proceeds.
