Aqueous solution-vapor interfaces govern important phenomena in the environment and atmosphere, including the uptake and release of trace gases by aerosols and CO2 sequestration by the oceans.[1] A detailed understanding of these processes requires the investigation of liquid-vapor interfaces with chemical sensitivity and interface specificity under ambient conditions, i.e., temperatures...
Studying electrochemical reactions at interfaces between different states of matter has been a long-term interest for both experimentalists and theorists in wide-range research areas. Revealing the fundamental properties at such interfaces is critical for a complete description of relevant electrochemical processes and for future designs of advance materials. In this talk, we will present a...
In order to comprehend the catalytic performance of metal nanostructures, their dynamic nature and response to the environment must be taken into consideration. The working state of a nanocatalyst might not be the state in which the catalyst was prepared, but a structural and/or chemical isomer that adapted to the particular reaction conditions. Furthermore, deactivation phenomena taking place...
