A DFT-based model on the adsorption behavior of H2O, H+, Cl−, and OH− on clean and Cr-doped Fe(110) planes
(2018)The impact of four typical adsorbates, namely H2O, H+, Cl−, and OH−, on three different planes, namely, Fe(110), Cr(110) and Cr-doped Fe(110), was investigated by using a density functional theory (DFT)-based model. It is ... -
From two-phase to three-phase : the new electrochemical interface by oxide electrocatalysts
(2017)Electrochemical reactions typically occur at the interface between a solid electrode and a liquid electrolyte. The charge exchange behaviour between these two phases determines the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. ... -
Solvent dependent disorder in M2(BzOip)2(H2O)·solvate (M = Co or Zn)
(2017)Coordination polymers derived from 5-benzyloxy isophthalic acid (H2BzOip) are rare, with only three reported that do not contain additional bridging ligands, of which two M2(BzOip)2(H2O) (M = Co and Zn) are isomorphous. ... -
Epitaxial growth of unusual 4H hexagonal Ir, Rh, Os, Ru and Cu nanostructures on 4H Au nanoribbons
