Catalysts are mortal - they are born, they age, and they degrade with use. But what actually happens while they operate? (by Adam Weingarten @NatureComms) 

This is a beautiful work which investigates the mechanism behind catalyst degradation during electrochemical CO2 reduction! We are delighted that It has been featured in the Nature Communications Editors' Highlights on Energy Materials by Adam Weingarten. Special thanks to Jianfeng for his hard work and to all co-authors! Great contribution from theory (Prof Marzari and Dr. Hörmann) and electron microscopy (Dr Emad Oveisi)! Check also our Behind the Paper here
