Reactions of the light actinide ions (Th to Cm) at the mineral− aqueous solution interface
have attracted much attention during recent years. Initially research was mainly driven by the …

Volcano plots and scaling relations are commonly used to design catalysts and understand
catalytic behavior. These plots are a useful tool due to their robust and simple analysis of …

Multiple exciton generation (MEG), where two or more electron–hole pairs are produced
from the absorption of one high-energy photon, could increase the efficiency of light …

Two-dimensional materials with out-of-plane (OOP) ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties
are highly desirable for the realization of ultrathin ferro-and piezoelectronic devices. We …

Adopting low-index single-crystal surfaces as models for metal nanoparticle catalysts has
been questioned by the experimental findings of adsorbate-induced formation of …

QuantumATK is an integrated set of atomic-scale modelling tools developed since 2003 by
professional software engineers in collaboration with academic researchers. While different …

Syngas, an extremely important chemical feedstock composed of carbon monoxide and
hydrogen, can be generated through methane (CH4) dry reforming with CO2. However …

Efficient and selective CO2 electroreduction into chemical fuels promises to alleviate
environmental pollution and energy crisis, but it relies on catalysts with controllable product …

Understanding how the local environment of a “single-atom” catalyst affects stability and
reactivity remains a challenge. We present an in-depth study of copper1, silver1, gold1 …

Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to value-added hydrocarbon products using metallic copper
(Cu) catalysts is a potentially sustainable approach to facilitate carbon neutrality. However …
