Protein‐Templated Fe and Ni Subnanoclusters for Advanced Energy Storage and Electrocatalysis (Small 50/2025)
Subnanoclusters In article number 2507934, Abolhassan Noori, Richard B. Kaner, Mir F. Mousavi, and co-workers report a bio-inspired protein templated strategy to synthesize iron and nickel subnanoclusters with atomic precision, embedded in a graphene-derived porous framework. The resulting hybrid architecture delivers exceptional electrochemical performance for both energy storage and oxygen evolution. This work illustrates how molecular-level control can unlock new frontiers in sustainable energy technologies.
