Achieving concurrent optimization of these properties in an integrated catalyst is challenging, as they are dictated by structures spanning multiple length scales. Here, we report a multiscale metamaterial catalyst design strategy that couples topology-engineered transport pathways with nanoglass heterointerface-regulated catalytic activity. Specifically, multiscale metamaterial catalysts (i.e. NiMo@Zr MMCs) are constructed by integrating micro-laser powder bed fusion-fabricated Zr-based metallic-glass triply periodic minimal surface scaffolds with pulsed-electrodeposition (PED)-derived NiMo nanoglass heterostructures. The Gyroid architecture provides enhanced permeability, efficient electrolyte\/gas transport and mechanical robustness, while the abundant amorphous\u2013amorphous interfaces within the NiMo nanoglass heterostructure optimize the local electronic environment and catalytic activity. Through the synergistic integration of topology engineering, metallic-glass scaffolds and nanoglass interface engineering, the resulting NiMo@G catalyst delivers record-low cell voltages for overall water splitting (1.438\u00a0V at 100\u00a0mA cm\u22122 in 1\u00a0M KOH) and outstanding long-term durability (&amp;gt;200\u00a0h). This work extends the concept of metamaterial catalysts from topology-controlled transport design to the coupling of transport and catalytic-interface engineering across multiple length scales, providing a generalizable framework for next-generation electrocatalysts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/nsr\/nwag442","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,16]],"date-time":"2026-07-16T11:44:18Z","timestamp":1784202258000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Topology-engineered
