Nature Communications, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72465-x Au catalysts suffer from deactivation in glucose electrooxidation reaction. Here, the authors report that charge-polarized Auδ−-Cuδ+ sites in AuCu alloy enable co-adsorption of OH− on Cuδ+ sites and glucose on Auδ− sites, thereby realizing the stable and selective glucose electrooxidation.
