Surface-enhanced spectroscopy leverages the extreme enhancement of molecular signals in carefully engineered metallic nanostructures. There is great potential of surface-enhanced infrared absorption, Raman scattering, and vibrational sum-frequency generation for biosensing, security scanning, THz detection, or even remote control of chemical…

All-solid-state batteries are arguably the most promising development in energy storage technology. However, commercialisation is hindered by the formation of voids and dendrites at the interface between the Li metal anode and the solid electrolyte. In this work, a mechanistic…

Pseudocapacitive components allow more charge to be stored by reactions on the surface of electrodes

Nuclear fuel pellets are clad by thin zirconium tubes whose structural integrity is of paramount importance. The presence of the water coolant, however, provides hydrogen that reacts with zirconium to produce hydrides. Thermal cycles during normal reactor operations can lead…
