Morphology manipulation: Epitaxial bonding is created electrochemically between yttrium‐stabilised zirconia (YSZ) nanoparticles and micrometre‐scale Ni particles to effectively reduce the interfacial energy, which can be used to advance the fabrication of well‐known Ni/YSZ metal–oxide interfaces. By unlocking wettability for unprecedented bonding, a new insight for the bonding in oxide‐on‐metal systems is achieved.
