Magnetic field controlled electrocatalysis from a multidimensional catalytic perspective: Mechanisms, applications, and prospects for energy conversion

This review delves into the emerging field of multidimensional catalysis, with a particular focus on the regulation of electrocatalysis by external magnetic fields. It outlines the significance of electrocatalysis in clean energy conversion and storage, and how magnetic fields can enhance the efficiency, selectivity, and stability of electrocatalytic reactions through various mechanisms such as Lorentz force, magnetocaloric effects, and spin selectivity. The review also discusses the historical evolution of catalysis research from one-dimensional to multi-dimensional and highlights the role of magnetic fields in catalyst synthesis, mass transfer, electron transfer, and reaction kinetics. Furthermore, it summarizes key applications of magnetic fields in different electrocatalytic reactions, supported by theoretical calculations that provide insights into the microscopic mechanisms. This comprehensive overview not only offers a theoretical and experimental foundation for the development of new electrocatalysts but also paves the way for more efficient and sustainable electrocatalytic technologies, marking a significant step toward the advancement of clean energy solutions.
