Versatile Janus Architecture for Electrocatalytic Applications.

Janus architectures have garnered great research efforts in recent years, leading to outstanding advances in electrocatalysis. Benefiting from the synergistic combination of their anisotropy which endows the manifestation of various co-existing electrochemical properties, and their compartmentalized structure that enables each functional domain to retain its inherent activity, with little to no interference from other domains, Janus architectures show great potential as exceptionally versatile electrocatalysts to complement a plethora of electrocatalytic processes. Thus, coupled with the growing interest in Janus architectures for electrocatalysis, it is imperative to investigate and reconsider their design strategies and future directions.
