Abstract: In the relentless pursuit of advancing electrochemical technologies, gaining a profound understanding of the intricate dynamics governing nano alloy catalysts during reduction reactions, such as the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) or oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), emerges as a pivotal endeavor. This presentation delves into a pioneering approach employing direct imaging techniques, specifically focused on copper-based/platinum-based alloys, utilizing in situ electrochemical transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The objective is to illuminate the evolving nanostructures of these catalysts in real-time under the dynamic conditions of electrochemical reduction reactions.

Through the application of this cutting-edge technique, we aim to unravel the intricate interplay between catalyst morphology and electrochemical performance. This comprehensive exploration provides crucial insights that extend beyond mere observation, offering a deeper understanding of the structural transformations occurring during dynamic electrochemical processes. The outcomes of this study are anticipated to offer valuable guidance for optimizing catalyst design strategies, ultimately leading to the enhancement of overall electrochemical performance and stability.
