Cover Feature: Fabrication of Structured Nickel Electrodes With Tailored Wettability and Enhanced Electrochemical Active Surface Area for Alkaline Water Electrolysis Using Direct Laser Interference Patterning (Small Struct. 1/2026)
Abstract
Laser Microstructures In their Research Article (10.1002/sstr.202500763), Robert Baumann, Andrés Fabián Lasagni, and co-workers apply a unique laser based texturing technique to electrode materials for generating hierarchal micro/nanostructures on its surface. These structures show an improved electrochemically active surface. This enables the possibility to produce efficient gas evolution reactions such as hydrogen evolution reaction.
