Authors:Jiaqi Li, Laiyu Luo, Siyu Wang, Haojie Song, Baojiang Jiang.
Herein, we firstly introduce the principles and devices of Joule-heating, and then we discuss breakthroughs in defect modulation, heterojunction construction, single-atom catalysts, bimetallic alloy catalysts, high-entropy alloy catalysts and metastable catalysts achieved through Joule-heating technology. The diverse applications of these catalysts include hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, oxygen reduction reactions, carbon dioxide reduction reactions, nitrogen reduction reaction and degradation of organic pollutants. Furthermore, this review provides a forward-looking perspective on future directions for employing Joule-heating methods in the field of photo and electrocatalysis research.
