Two-dimensional (2D) materials are characterised by their strong intraplanar bonding but
weak interplanar interaction. Interfaces between neighboring 2D layers or between 2D …

Graphene–metal interface as one of the interesting graphene-based objects attracts much
attention from both application and fundamental science points of view. This paper gives a …

Confined microenvironments formed in heterogeneous catalysts have recently been
recognized as equally important as catalytically active sites. Understanding the …

Carbon-supported metal nanoparticles (NPs) comprise an important class of heterogeneous
catalysts. The interaction between the metal and carbon support influences the overall …

Graphitic overlayers on metals have commonly been considered as inhibitors for surface
reactions due to their chemical inertness and physical blockage of surface active sites. In …

The development of low-cost and high-performance electrocatalysts remains a challenge for
the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in alkaline membrane fuel cells. Here, we have …

In heterogeneous catalysis molecule–metal interaction is often modulated through structural
modifications at the surface or under the surface of the metal catalyst. Here, we suggest an …

Intercalation is the process of inserting chemical species into the heterointerfaces of two-
dimensional (2D) layered materials. While much research has focused on the intercalation …

The interaction of CO, CO2, CO+ H2, CO2+ H2, and CO+ CO2+ H2 with the nickel (110)
single crystal termination has been investigated at 10–1 mbar in situ as a function of the …

Intercalation of oxygen at the interface of graphene grown by chemical vapour deposition
and its polycrystalline copper catalyst can have a strong impact on the electronic, chemical …
