摘要：
A growing body of evidence indicates that bubble dynamics are crucial performance-limiting factors on electrochemical reactions and energy conversion efficiencies in both half-cell and full-cell device levels. This review aims to summarize the recent progress in in-situ visualization characterizations of electrochemical reactions and reactant/product transport in electrochemical energy systems. The latest achievements of various new electrodes, transparent cell designs, and development for simultaneous visualization of reactions at both electrodes and electrolyte/electrode interface are highlighted. The new insights into the influence of bubbles on reaction sites and associated electrochemical performances are discussed. Finally, some perspectives on potential strategies for mitigating the bubble-induced energy losses are proposed for future research directions and opportunities in water electrolysis and other electrochemical energy systems.
