We report a multi-step on-surface synthesis strategy. The first step consists in the surface-supported synthesis of metal-organic complexes, which are subsequently used as catalysts to steer on-surface alkyne coupling reactions. In…
Renewable energy conversion and storage, and greenhouse gas emission-free technologies are within the primary tasks and challenges for the society. Hydrogen fuel, produced by alkaline water electrolysis is fulfilling all these demands,…
Single-atom catalysts have attracted significant attention due to their exceptional atomic utilization and high efficiency in a range of catalytic reactions. However, these systems often face thermodynamic instability, leading to…
Present knowledge of the function of materials is largely based on studies (experimental and theoretical) that are performed at low temperatures and ultra-low pressures. However, the majority of everyday applications, like e.g. catalysis,…
We formally derive an effective catalyst layer model comprising the reduction of oxygen for periodically distributed pore geometries. By assumption, the pores are completely filled with water and the surrounding walls consist of catalyst…
Hydrogen activation is a key elementary step in catalytic hydrogenation. In heterogeneous catalysis, it usually proceeds through dissociative adsorption on metal nanoparticles followed by surface diffusion or spillover, whereas homogeneous…
Process of vapor pyrolytic deposition of carbon on nickel and cobalt-containing ordered mesoporous MCM-41 matrices at decomposition of acetylene have been investigated. Formation of nanotubes, nanowires and amorphous carbon particles…
A heterogeneous and dilute suspension of catalytically active colloids is studied as a non-equilibrium analogue of ionic systems, which has the remarkable feature of action-reaction symmetry breaking. Symmetrically coated colloids are found…
As the extremely-sized nanocrystals and nanopores, an adatom M and atomic vacancy V exhibit extraordinary capability of catalysis with however little knowledge about the catalyst-reactant interfacial bonding dynamics. With the aid of DFT…
Silanization bases on the adsorption, selfassembly and covalent binding of silane molecules onto surfaces, resulting in a densely packed self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Following standard recipes, however, the quality of the monolayer is…
We prove stability for a class of heterogeneous catalysis models in the $L_p$-setting. We consider a setting in a finite three-dimensional pore of cylinder-like geometry, with the lateral walls acting as a catalytic surface. Under a…
Carbon-based caged and heterocyclic compounds tend to have strained molecular structures leading to high heats of formation and energetic behavior. In the current paper, molecular modelling calculations for 10 caged compounds of this type…
Porous heteroatom-doped carbons are desirable for catalytic reactions due to their tunable physicochemical properties, low cost and metal-free nature. Herein, we introduce a facile general bottom-up strategy, so-called "cooking carbon in a…
Self-assembly processes provide the means to achieve scalable and versatile metamaterials by "bottom-up" fabrication. Despite their enormous potential, especially as a platform for energy materials, self-assembled metamaterials are often…
We present a first-principles based multiscale modeling approach to heterogeneous catalysis that integrates first-principles kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of the surface reaction chemistry into a fluid dynamical treatment of the…
Water-metal interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in many chemical processes, from catalysis to corrosion. Whereas water adlayers on atomically flat transition metal surfaces have been investigated in depth, little is known about…
We apply first principles computational techniques to analyze the two-electron, multi-step, electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO in water using cobalt porphyrin as a catalyst. Density Functional Theory calculations with hybrid functionals…
The MoVTeTaO M1 phases were prepared by conventional hydrothermal (HT) and microwave-assisted HT synthesis methods (MW) employing two different Ta precursors, Ta ethoxide and a custom-made Ta oxalate complex. The profile intensity analysis…
Until now, the fabrication of electrocatalysts to guarantee long life of fuel cells and low consumption of noble metals remains a major challenge. The electrocatalysts based on metals or metal oxides which are used today are limited by the…
Metal-support interactions are frequently invoked to explain the enhanced catalytic activity of metal nanoparticles dispersed over reducible metal-oxide supports, yet the atomic scale mechanisms are rarely known. Here, we use scanning…
