Growing concern regarding the sustainability of the chemical industry has driven the development of more efficient catalytic reactions. First-generation estimates of catalyst...
The high precious metal loading and high overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) prevents the widespread utilization of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)...
The most common method for incorporating strong electron correlations is either to apply the Hubbard U correction on top of standard density functional theory calculations...
Herein we present surface sensitive operando XAS L-edge measurements on IrOx/RuO2 thin films as well as mass-selected RuOx and Ru nanoparticles. We observed shifts of the...
Ammonia synthesis is one of the most studied reactions in heterogeneous catalysis. To date, however, electrochemical N2 reduction in aqueous systems has proven to be extremely...
Au nanoparticles represent the most remarkable example of a size effect in heterogeneous catalysis. However, a major issue hindering the use of Au nanoparticles in technological...
One of the key challenges in photoelectrochemical water splitting is to identify efficient semiconductors with band gaps of the order of B2 eV to operate as the large-band...
While the surface atomic structure of RuO2 has been well studied in ultra high vacuum, much less is known about the interaction between water and RuO2 in aqueous solution...
The GW self-energy method has long been recognized as the gold standard for quasiparticle (QP) calculations of solids in spite of the fact that the neglect of vertex corrections...
High overpotentials and low faradic efficiencies plague metal catalysts for direct conversion of CO2 to methanol and other liquid fuels. RuO2-based electrocatalysts have...
