Single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit high catalytic activities in many systems including metal-air batteries. However, the fundamental catalytic mechanism of SACs during charge/discharge process are still unclear. Herein, we report a...
A sputtered platinum nano-interlayer can react with lithium in situ to form a highly conductive lithium–platinum alloy, creating a stable lithium/electrolyte interface, which was atomically resolved by cryo-transmission electron microscopy.
