The applications of copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanoparticles, which are based on the earth-
abundant and inexpensive copper metal, have generated a great deal of interest in recent …

The oxidation and corrosion of metals are fundamental problems in materials science and
technology that have been studied using a large variety of experimental and computational …

In the recent years, significant progress has been made toward designing active and
selective catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction, with particular interest focused on the …

The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to multi-carbon products has attracted much attention
because it provides an avenue to the synthesis of value-added carbon-based fuels and …

Abstract Copper (Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) have received extensive interest owing to their
advantageous properties compared with their bulk counterparts. Although the natural …

Identification of the active site is important in developing rational design strategies for solid
catalysts but is seriously blocked by their structural complexity. Here, we use uniform Cu …

Redox-active copper catalysts with accurately prepared oxidation states (Cu0, Cu+, and
Cu2+) and high selectivity to C2 hydrocarbon formation, from electrocatalytic cathodic …

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) constitute
a group of persistent organic pollutants that form almost inexorably in all thermal and …

First-principle calculations, especially by the density functional theory (DFT), is used to study
the structure and properties of oxygen/metal interfaces. Adsorption of oxygen molecules or …

Cu2O microcrystals with well-formed facets were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal
method. The surface stabilities and photocatalytic properties of Cu2O microcrystals were …
