Electrocatalysis sits at the heart of clean hydrogen production, fuel cells, and carbon dioxide conversion, yet progress toward scalable, high-performance catalysts has remained frustratingly slow. A growing body of research now suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) may be key to breaking this bottleneck--but only if it is used wisely.AI meets electrocatalysis: Lessons from three decades and a roadmap ahead
