Supported Ni catalysts are promising for CO2 hydrogenation because of their relatively
cheap price with comparable activity to noble metal catalysts. The product of CO2 …

The study of processes concerning adsorption, diffusion and reaction of atoms and
molecules on surfaces is one of the core areas of surface science research. Resolving these …

Single adatoms are expected to participate in many processes occurring at solid surfaces,
such as the growth of graphene on metals. We demonstrate, both experimentally and …

The interaction of CO, CO2, CO+ H2, CO2+ H2, and CO+ CO2+ H2 with the nickel (110)
single crystal termination has been investigated at 10–1 mbar in situ as a function of the …

Hydrogen storage mechanism and hydrogen storage capacity are the great challenges for
the development of hydrogen energy technology. Besides the better catalytic properties, it is …

In graphene growth, island symmetry can become lower than the intrinsic symmetries of both
graphene and the substrate. First-principles calculations and Monte Carlo modeling explain …

When “cut off” continuous and uniform basal plane of two-dimensional (2D) materials, edges
appear at cross-sections. Such edges with unique one-dimensional (1D) structures and …

Over the last two decades, remarkable progress has been made in use of computational
methods for understanding 2D materials growth. The aim of this Review is to provide an …

One key issue to promote the industrialization of two-dimensional (2D) materials is to grow
high-quality and large-scale 2D materials. Investigations of the growth mechanism and …

Interaction with the substrate strongly affects the electronic/chemical properties of supported
graphene. So far, graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on catalytic single …
