In Situ Monitoring of the Surface Evolution of a Silver Electrode from Polycrystalline to Well-Defined Structures

Yunchang Liang

Capturing the surface-structural dynamics of metal electrocatalysts under certain electrochemical environments is intriguingly desired for understanding the behavior of various metal-based electrocatalysts. However, in situ monitoring of the evolution of a ...

Anionic character of the conduction band of sodium chloride

Klaus Kern, Abhishek Grewal

The alkali halides are ionic compounds. Each alkali atom donates an electron to a halogen atom, leading to ions with full shells. The valence band is mainly located on halogen atoms, while, in a traditional picture, the conduction band is mainly located on ...

Nanocapillary confinement of imidazolium based ionic liquids

Aleksandra Radenovic, Sanjin Marion, Sebastian James Davis

Room temperature ionic liquids are salts which are molten at or around room temperature without any added solvent or solution. In bulk they exhibit glass like dependence of conductivity with temperature as well as coupling of structural and transport prope ...

Patterns and driving forces of dimensionality-dependent charge density waves in 2H-type transition metal dichalcogenides

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

Charge density wave (CDW) is a startling quantum phenomenon, distorting a metallic lattice into an insulating state with a periodically modulated charge distribution. Astonishingly, such modulations appear in various patterns even within the same family of ...

Imaging plasma formation in isolated nanoparticles with ultrafast resonant scattering

Christoph Bostedt

We have recorded the diffraction patterns from individual xenon clusters irradiated with intense extreme ultraviolet pulses to investigate the influence of light-induced electronic changes on the scattering response. The clusters were irradiated with short ...

Anion Selection Criteria for Water-in-Salt Electrolytes

Corsin Battaglia, David Reber, Maximilian Becker

Water-in-salt electrolytes have enabled the development of novel high-voltage aqueous lithium-ion batteries. This study explores the reasons why analogous sodium electrolytes have struggled to reach the same level of electrochemical stability. Solution str ...

A wearable electrochemical sensing system for non-invasive monitoring of lithium drug in bipolar disorder

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino, Francesca Criscuolo

Lithium represents the main drug for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder (BD) as it acts as a mood stabilizer. However, because of its narrow therapeutic window, psychiatric patients are obliged to frequent tests in hospital to control their lithium blood co ...

Shape staggering of midshell mercury isotopes from in-source laser spectroscopy compared with density-functional-theory and Monte Carlo shell-model calculations

Adriano Pastore, Annelies Marleen J Sels, Manorma Niermaladebhi Bender

Neutron-deficient Hg177-185 isotopes were studied using in-source laser resonance-ionization spectroscopy at the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion-beam facility in an experiment combining different detection methods tailored to the studied isotopes. These includ ...

Specific Ion Effects at the Interface of Nanometer-Sized Droplets in Water: Structure and Stability

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Evangelia Zdrali

The interaction of ions with interfaces influences numerous processes in chemistry, physics, and biology, while different ion species behave differently at hydrophobic or hydrophilic interfaces. Despite its importance, ion specificity and its relation to s ...

Ionic liquid containing electron-rich, porous polyphosphazene nanoreactors catalyze the transformation of CO2 to carbonates

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Zhangjun Huang, Haiyan Jia, Jorge Gustavo Uranga

We show that ionic liquids (ILs) interact with electron-rich, porous polyphosphazene (PPZ), to form hybrid PPZ-IL nanoreactors able to simultaneously capture and transform CO2 into carbonates. The PPZ nanospheres swell in organic solvents and effectively a ...

Catalyst design for the transformation of CO2 into value-added products

Felix Daniel Bobbink

The mass-utilization of fossil resources has led to a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) production, most of which is released directly into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Efforts to contain CO2 emissions and to capture, store ...
