Data-driven insights provide invaluable guidance in the pursuit of novel materials and structures for enhancing battery performance in a highly efficient manner. In a recent milestone publication in Joule, Zhang and co-workers harness data-driven analyses of 247 reported bifunctional electrocatalysts to unveil an unprecedendrivted composite Fe-N-C dispersed NiFeCe layered double hydroxide (FeNC@LDH) oxygen electrocatalyst. This breakthrough achieves a record-breaking electrocatalytic activity with a remarkable ΔE of 0.57 V, greatly surpassing the state-of-the-art levels by ca. 60 mV. This remarkable achievement not only sets a new benchmark in bifunctional electrocatalysis but also signifies a paradigm shift in advanced catalyst research methodologies.

数据驱动的见解为追求新型材料和结构以高效地提高电池性能提供了宝贵的指导。在《焦耳》杂志最近发表的一篇具有里程碑意义的文章中，Zhang 和同事利用对 247 种已报道的双功能电催化剂的数据驱动分析，揭示了一种史无前例的复合 Fe-N-C 分散 NiFeCe 层状双氢氧化物 (FeNC@LDH) 氧电催化剂。这一突破实现了破纪录的电催化活性，其 ΔE 达到 0.57 V，大大超过了最先进的水平。 60毫伏。这一非凡的成就不仅为双功能电催化树立了新的基准，而且标志着先进催化剂研究方法的范式转变。
