The deformation of interatomic distances with respect to those of the perfect crystal
generates atomic-level strain. In nanoalloys, strain can arise because of finite size …

The current review focuses on the general trends in the electronic and chemical properties
of monolayer bimetallic surfaces (MBS). The MBS is defined in this review as a monolayer of …

The reactive metal–support interaction (RMSI) offers electronic, geometric and
compositional effects that can be used to tune catalytic active sites. Generally, supports other …

Ni–Co amorphous double hydroxides nanomaterials with a hollow structure and tunable
Ni/Co molar ratio are synthesized using a template method. The amorphous NiCo2. 7 (OH) x …

The modification of the electronic and chemical properties of Pt (111) surfaces by subsurface
3d transition metals was studied using density-functional theory. In each case investigated …

Using a combination of density functional theory calculations and X-ray emission and
absorption spectroscopy for nitrogen on Cu and Ni surfaces, a detailed picture is given of the …

Currently, the human race faces two important issues: energy and the environment.
Obtaining energy and chemicals in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner has …

By studying the adsorption of CO on up to 30 layers of Pt deposited on Ru (0001) the
influence of surface strain on the adsorption energy has been disentangled from the residual …

Despite recent progress in develo** active and durable oxygen reduction catalysts with
reduced Pt content, lack of elegant bottom-up synthesis procedures with knowledge over the …

Coming to the surface: The surface composition of carbon‐supported Pt3Co catalyst
particles changes upon a CO‐annealing treatment. Platinum atoms segregate to the particle …
