Perovskite catalysts have been extensively studied for reduction–oxidation (redox)
reactions; however, their acid–base catalytic properties are still under-explored. This review …

Abstract Infrared (IR)-visible (Vis) sum frequency generation (SFG) is a second-order
nonlinear optical process which is forbidden in centrosymmetric bulk media or isotropic …

Rare earth element (REE) production is limited in part by inefficient strategies for
beneficiation. Hydroxamic acid ligands are promising reagents for the selective flotation of …

The interaction of 2-propanol with Co3O4 (001) was studied by vibrational sum frequency
spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of 2-propanol dissolved in a …

Polymer-stabilized liquid/liquid interfaces are an important and growing class of bioinspired
materials that combine the structural and functional capabilities of advanced synthetic …

Amino acids make up a promising family of molecules capable of direct air capture (DAC) of
CO2 from the atmosphere. Under alkaline conditions, CO2 reacts with the anionic form of an …

We describe a new approach that expands the utility of vibrational sum-frequency
generation (vSFG) spectroscopy using shaped near-infrared (NIR) laser pulses. We …

Over the past decades, Lithium-ion batteries have seen extensive improvements, and as a
result are now the primary choice in many applications for their power, energy, and …

We have developed a multipurpose vibrational sum frequency generation (vSFG)
spectrometer that is uniquely capable of probing a broad range of chemical species, each …

Separating rare-earth-element-rich minerals from unwanted gangue in mined ores relies on
selective binding of collector molecules at the interface to facilitate froth flotation …
