Recent advances in epitaxial heterostructures for electrochemical applications

Abstract

Construction of epitaxial heterostructures is crucial for boosting the electrochemical properties of various materials, however a review dedicated to this attractive topic is still lacking. In this Minireview, a timely summary on the achievements of epitaxial heterostructure design for electrochemical applications is provided. We first introduce the synthesis strategies to provide fundamental understanding on how to create epitaxial interfaces between different components. Secondly, the superiorities of epitaxial heterostructures in electrocatalysis, supercapacitors and batteries are highlighted with the underlying structure–property relationship elucidated. Finally, a discussion on the challenges and future prospects of this field is presented.
