Surface-Driven Electron Localization and Defect Heterogeneity in Ceria
The exceptional performance of ceria (CeO2) in catalysis and energy conversion is fundamentally governed by the presence of defects in the material, particularly oxygen vacancies. The formation of each oxygen […]

Low-density amorphous ice contains crystalline ice grains
Ice on Earth typically adopts a neatly arranged hexagonal crystalline structure. A range of amorphous ices—solids without long-range order—also exist. The oldest known form is called low-density amorphous (LDA) ice. […]

Room temperature water splitting at the basal plane of graphene grown on nickel
In this joint experimental and theoretical Density Functional Theory (DFT) study we demonstrate that coupling of graphene (GR) with a Ni metal substrate can reduce the chemical neutrality of GR […]
