The field of single-atom catalysis (SAC) has expanded greatly in recent years. While there
has been much success developing new synthesis methods, a fundamental disconnect …

Electron transfer (ET) is a fundamental process in physics, chemistry, and biology. 1 Charge
transfer determines phenomena like oxidation and reduction, bond activation and bond …

Macroscopic sorption edges for Cu2+ were measured on hematite nanoparticles with
average diameters of 7nm, 25nm, and 88nm in 0.1 M NaNO3. The pH edges for the 7nm …

Radicals are chemical species containing one or more unpaired electrons which generally
react via electron pairing or electron transfer mechanisms. A charged radical is called a …

Localized electronic defects on the surface of a 4 monolayer (ML) thin MgO (001) film
deposited on Ag (001) have been investigated by low-temperature scanning tunneling …

Surface excess electrons are remarkable chemical entities that provide great opportunities
for the design of new materials with precisely tuned electronic and magnetic properties. In …

Low-coordinated (LC) ions at the MgO surface (noted Mg2+ LC and O2-LC with L= 1− 5),
located on monatomic and diatomic steps, corners, step divacancies, and kinks, have been …

The electronic structure of oxygen vacancy and proton defects close to grain boundaries in
MgO are calculated using first principles methods. These defects, in various charge states …

UV–vis irradiation of thin films of TiO2 (ITO/TiO2) and Cu2O/TiO2 (ITO/Cu2O/TiO2) coated
on conducting glasses generate H2 from H2O and once the illumination is ceased, the H2 …

Highly defective MgO nanosheets were prepared by a colloidal synthesis and exhibited low-
temperature ferromagnetism which was significantly larger that the magnetization potentially …
