This Perspective provides an overview of recent developments in the field of 3d transition
metal (TM) catalysts for different reactions, including oxygen-based reactions such as the …

Valence electrons are one of the main players in solid catalysts and in catalytic reactions,
since they are involved in several correlated phenomena like chemical bonding, magnetism …

The design of 2D metal–organic frameworks (2D MOFs) takes advantage of the combination
of the diverse electronic properties of simple organic ligands with different transition metal …

Catalysis is a quantum phenomenon enthalpically driven by electronic correlations with
many-particle effects in all of its branches, including electro-photo-catalysis and electron …

We study the modification of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of Co slabs induced
by several different conjugated molecular overlayers, ie, benzene, cyclooctatetraene …

Since the D-band center theory was proposed, it has been widely used in the fields of
surface chemistry by almost all researchers, due to its easy understanding, convenient …

Understanding the impact of electronic correlations and disorder is essential for an accurate
description of solids. Here, we study the role of correlations, disorder, and multimagnon …

Magnetism in solids is a complex phenomenon that arises from the intrinsic magnetic
properties of electrons within the material. These intrinsic properties include the “spin” of the …

High-performance catalysts for the oxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions
(ORR and HER, respectively) are highly sought-after, particularly with the commitment of …

On-surface metal porphyrins can undergo electronic and conformational changes that play a
crucial role in determining the chemical reactivity of the molecular layer. Therefore …
