The modern three-way catalyst (TWC) is very effective for treating the hydrocarbons (HCs),
carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from stoichiometric gasoline engines …

A review describing recent developments in the theoretical description of molecular and
atomic interactions occurring at the interface between an aqueous solution and a metal …

The antiproliferative and cytotoxic properties of polyphenolic acid derivatives, structurally
related with the natural models caffeic and gallic acids, have been tested in human cervix …

An electrode is customarily thought of as an ensemble of an electronic conductor (most
frequently a metal) in contact with an ionic conductor (electrolyte solution, solid electrolyte …

A complete understanding of the carbon dioxide (CO2) interaction with zinc oxide (ZnO) is a
basis for the development of new ZnO-containing materials for catalytic fixation of CO2 into …

This volume analyzes and summarizes recent developments in several key interfacial

Under ambient conditions, a water meniscus generally forms between a nanoscale atomic
force microscope tip and a hydrophilic surface. Using a lattice gas model for water and …

A water meniscus naturally forms in air between an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and a
substrate. This nanoscale meniscus produces a capillary force on the AFM, and also serves …

The geometric structure and electronic properties of flat and stepped gold–water interfaces
have been addressed by periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work …

A multidisciplinary project was developed, combining the synthesis of a series of β-
