The interaction between a metal nanoparticle (NP) and a metal oxide ... (DFT) calculations we shed light on the structural and electronic interaction between Cu and the defects in the surface ...

The research lays the foundation for designing more efficient catalysts and storage materials essential for next-generation ...

"It turns out that the surface of Fe3O4 is not Fe3O4 at all, but rather Fe11O16", says Professor Ulrike Diebold, head of the metal-oxide-research group at TU Wien (Vienna). The new findings have ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel surface processing technique that prolongs the lifespan of lithium ...

Researchers have found a method of forming nanographenes on metal oxide surfaces. Nanostructures based on carbon are promising materials for nanoelectronics. However, to be suitable, they would ...

Metal oxide surfaces are widely used as support materials for metal catalysts particles. The binding properties and shape of metal nanoparticles sensitively depend on the interaction between the ...

Yang Liangbao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has enhanced localized surface plasmon ... and LSPR induction in metal oxide nanoparticles.

Diagram showing the functionalization of a metal oxide nanoparticle with various organic molecules, including trimethoxysilane, amine, phosphonic acid, carboxylic acid, dopamine, and cysteine. This ...

Precisely quantifying metal oxide samples’ chemical compositions with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) may be adversely impacted by adventitious carbon contamination, which is often found on the ...

This active material is usually a dispersion of transition metal particles that may be either in a partially or completely reduced form. The support material is usually alumina or other metal oxide ...

"In principle, metal oxide films should be easy to make," Dickey says. "After all, they form naturally on the surface of nearly every metal object in our homes -- soda cans, stainless steel pots ...
