    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for forming catalysts for use in fuel cells, other energy storage/generation devices, and other applications where catalysts may be used. In embodiments, a catalyst comprising one or more metallic glass structures may be formed by disposing a porous mold in a plating bath comprising one or more dissolved metal salts. An electrodeposition process may be initiated by applying current to the plating bath, where the electrodeposition process forms the one or more metallic glass structures within pores of the porous mold. One or more sensors may be used to monitor one or more properties of the electrodeposition process during the application of the current to the plating bath, and the one or more properties of the electrode-position process may be controlled, based on the monitoring of the one or more parameters, to adjust one or more characteristics of the metallic glass structures.
