Water adsorption at metal surfaces is governed by a subtle balance between water–water
hydrogen bonding and water–metal interactions, which together determine the stability of …

The structure of water at the interface with other materials is thought to determine their
wetting properties and underlies the vast array of phenomena known under the names of …

Controlling the structure of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) is key to the generation of their
complex functionality. This requires an understanding of the NC surface at the atomic level …

We present a picture that combines discussions regarding the thermodynamic anomalies in
ambient and supercooled water with recent interpretations of X-ray spectroscopy and …

The industrial use of lignocellulose is limited by the copresence of C5 and C6 carbohydrates
in this feedstock and the low selectivity of the corresponding catalytic conversion reaction …

Shape control has realized huge success for developing efficient Pd/Pt‐based
nanocatalysts, but the control of Ru‐based nanocrystals remains a formidable challenge …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful tool for surface and interface analysis,
providing the elemental composition of surfaces and the local chemical environment of …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at ambient conditions of pressure (up to 1.5 Torr) and
temperature (265 K< T< 800 K) was used to study the adsorption of water on rutile TiO2 …

Carbonate hydrogenation to formate is a promising route to convert captured carbon dioxide
into valuable chemicals, thus reducing carbon emissions and creating a revenue return …

We describe the structural, optical, and electrical properties of films of spin-cast, oleate-
capped PbSe nanocrystals that are treated thermally or chemically in solutions of hydrazine …
