Open AccessOperando high-pressure investigation of size-controlled CuZn catalysts for the methanol synthesis reaction
Although Cu/ZnO-based catalysts have been long used for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol, open questions still remain regarding the role and the dynamic nature of the active sites formed at the metal-oxide in...

Single-molecule imaging of dinitrogen molecule adsorption on individual iron phthalocyanine
Nitrogen fixation is a vital process for both nature and industry. Whereas the nitrogenase can reduce nitrogen in ambient environment in nature, the industrialized Haber-Bosch process is a high temperature and...

Morphology of Palladium Thin Film Deposited on a Two-Dimensional Bilayer Aluminosilicate
The morphology of a thin palladium film deposited on bilayer Al0.35Si0.65O2/Ru(0001), previously proposed as a two-dimensional zeolite model, is investigated using a set of complementary spectroscopy and microsco...

Open AccessImmobilization of single argon atoms in nano-cages of two-dimensional zeolite model systems
The confinement of noble gases on nanostructured surfaces, in contrast to bulk materials, at non-cryogenic temperatures represents a formidable challenge. In this work, individual Ar atoms are trapped at 300 K...

Energy Level Shifts at the Silica/Ru(0001) Heterojunction Driven by Surface and Interface Dipoles
Charge redistribution at heterogeneous interfaces is a fundamental aspect of surface chemistry. Manipulating the amount of charges and the magnitude of dipole moments at the interface in a controlled way has a...
