Over the past decade, defect-promoted electrochemical activity and stability have become
essential concepts to a rational catalyst design. The interest in defect engineering has been …

Understanding how the local environment of a “single-atom” catalyst affects stability and
reactivity remains a challenge. We present an in-depth study of copper1, silver1, gold1 …

Electrochemical AFM is a powerful tool for the real‐space characterization of catalysts under
realistic electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) conditions. The evolution of structural …

Since the exciting discovery that binding of 4-ethynylaniline on inert Cu2O cubes makes the
functionalized cubes highly photocatalytically active toward methyl orange (MO) …

Cu2O rhombic dodecahedra, octahedra, and cubes were densely modified with conjugated
4-ethynylaniline (4-EA) for facet-dependent photocatalytic activity examination. Infrared …

The oxides of copper have attracted the attention of scientists already for more than hundred
years. This fascination is fueled by many outstanding properties of the material, for example …

The inert Cu2O cubes exhibit a superior photocatalytic activity after being functionalized with
4-nitrophenylacetylene (4-NA). The 4-NA-modified Cu2O octahedra and rhombic …

Oxidized copper surfaces have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their
unique catalytic properties, including their enhanced hydrocarbon selectivity during the …

Considering the structural complexity of actual copper (Cu) passive films consisting of Cu 2
O, the multiple roles of aggressive chloride anion (Cl–) on Cu 2 O are revealed through first …

Constructing the films with remarkable anti-corrosion performance is the key issue to metal
protection. A kind of covalent layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly films of triazole is fabricated on …
