Abstract

Deformable catalytic material with excellent flexible structure is a new type of catalyst that has been applied in various chemical reactions, especially electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In recent years, deformable catalysts for HER have made great progress and would become a research hotspot. The catalytic activities of deformable catalysts could be adjustable by the strain engineering and surface reconfiguration. The surface curvature of flexible catalytic materials is closely related to the electrocatalytic HER properties. Here, firstly, we systematically summarized self-adaptive catalytic performance of deformable catalysts and various micro–nanostructures evolution in catalytic HER process. Secondly, a series of strategies to design highly active catalysts based on the mechanical flexibility of low-dimensional nanomaterials were summarized. Last but not least, we presented the challenges and prospects of the study of flexible and deformable micro–nanostructures of electrocatalysts, which would further deepen the understanding of catalytic mechanisms of deformable HER catalyst.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Nanostructures with high aspect ratios or weak substrate adhesion are prone to structural collapse, detachment, or morphological degradation during long-term gas evolution or under mechanical damage.

    “Secondly, nanostructures with high aspect ratios or weak substrate adhesion are prone to structural collapse, detachment, or morphological degradation during long-term gas evolution or under mechanical damage [175].”

    From Advances in Surface/Interface Engineering of Under-Water Superaerophobic Electrodes for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction by Manipulating of Bubbles (2026) · cites this paper as [175]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says that fluid flow and hydrogen bubbles can deform low-dimensional catalysts and that bubble forces can break rigid materials, degrading HER performance. The Bend-restoration Nanotubes section (page unavailable) also links bubble forces to poor stability. Neither passage identifies high aspect ratio or weak substrate adhesion as risk factors, or establishes substrate detachment during long-term gas evolution. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
