Advanced instrumental techniques have played a crucial role in providing experimental
evidence of reaction intermediates and kinetic information needed to correlate reactivity and …

Due to the increasing prices of noble metals and the progress in synthesis of nanomaterials,
non-noble transition metal catalysts have gained considerable interest in heterogeneous …

The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to hydrocarbons involves a multistep proton‐coupled
electron transfer (PCET) reaction. Second coordination sphere engineering is reported to be …

CO2 reduction reactions, which provide one route to limit the emission of this greenhouse
gas, are commonly performed over Cu-based catalysts. Here, we use ambient pressure X …

The structure and chemical state of a boron chain, isoelectronic to polycumulene, were
obtained with a combination of positron diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy, and first …

Utilization of carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules leads to increased interest in the sustainable
synthesis of methane (CH4) or methanol (CH3OH). The representative reaction intermediate …

Operando spectroscopy is a potent tool for characterizing heterogeneous catalysts under
working conditions. In this study, ambient-pressure hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy …

We investigate the interaction of CO2 with metallic and oxidized Cu (110) surfaces using a
combination of near‐ambient pressure scanning tunneling microscopy (NAP‐STM) and …

The reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) on Zn-deposited copper surfaces was systematically
investigated by ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). In the …

We investigated the adsorption of CO 2 on the flat, stepped, and kinked copper surfaces
from density functional theory calculations as well as the temperature programmed …
