在寻找具有优异性能的新型纳米电催化剂时，研究人员往往忽视了此类材料的复杂性和真正的可用性。在这里，有人认为，在许多研究中报道的电催化材料和电极的化学和结构复杂性大大超过了其表征的质量，使得不可能对数据进行有意义的解释，并因此提供很少（或没有）的科学见解。有人建议，实验设计的目的是通过最大限度地减少电极材料的复杂性，获得一个可解释的电化学响应。对该领域令人担忧的状况的更大认识将有助于提高电催化研究的质量。
While searching for new nanoelectrocatalysts with outstanding performance, researchers often disregard the complexity and true usability of such materials. Here, it is argued that the chemical and structural complexity of electrocatalytic materials and electrodes reported in numerous studies significantly exceeds the quality of their characterization, making meaningful interpretation of the data impossible and providing little (or no) scientific insight as a result. It is suggested that the experiments should be designed with the aim of obtaining an interpretable electrochemical response by minimizing the complexity of electrode materials. A greater recognition of the worrisome state of the field will help improve the quality of research in electrocatalysis.
