Trace Iridium Engineering on Nickel Hydroxide Nanosheets as High-active Catalyst for Overall Water Splitting
Designing cost-effective electrocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting to generate the hydrogen energy as a future energy source is pivotal. An excellent catalyst should show high catalytic activity for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxy ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2020Multihole water oxidation catalysis on haematite photoanodes revealed by operando spectroelectrochemistry and DFT
Michael Graetzel, Matthew Thomas Mayer, Yimeng Ma
Water oxidation is the key kinetic bottleneck of photoelectrochemical devices for fuel synthesis. Despite advances in the identification of intermediates, elucidating the catalytic mechanism of this multi-redox reaction on metal-oxide photoanodes remains a ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2020The N-Terminal Region of Yeast Protein Phosphatase Ppz1 Is a Determinant for Its Toxicity
The Ppz enzymes are Ser/Thr protein phosphatases present only in fungi that are characterized by a highly conserved C-terminal catalytic region, related to PP1c phosphatases, and a more divergent N-terminal extension. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Ppz phosp ...
MDPI2020Influence of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) on the hydrolysis of a diphosphene
We report the influence of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) on the hydrolysis of a diphosphene TerP?PTer (1; Ter = 2,6-Mes(2)C(6)H(3); Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2), a phosphorus-analogue of an alkene. The diphosphene 1 itself is completely inert towards water. Howev ...

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Marco Calizzi, Loris Giovanni Lombardo, Wen Luo, Kun Zhao, Mo Li, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Alexandre Borsay
The relation between catalytic reactivities and metal/metal oxide ratios, as well as the functions of the metal and the metal oxides were investigated in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction over highly active Cox(CoO)1–x catalysts in operando. The catalytic rea ...
2020Coarse-grained entropy production with multiple reservoirs: Unraveling the role of time scales and detailed balance in biology-inspired systems
Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan, Deepak Gupta
A general framework to describe a vast majority of biology-inspired systems is to model them as stochastic processes in which multiple couplings are in play at the same time. Molecular motors, chemical reaction networks, catalytic enzymes, and particles ex ...
2020Molecular Engineering of Electrode Surfaces for Electrocatalysis
Electrocatalysts play an important part on the route towards environmental friendly energy sources. They support modern technologies like fuel cells to move further away from the utilization of fossil fuels and the resulting CO2 emission into our atmospher ...

Harald Brune, Roland Widmer, Aliaksandr Yakutovich, Jan Prinz, Samuel Thomas Stolz
Enantioselectivity in heterogeneous catalysis strongly depends on the chirality transfer between catalyst surface and all reactants, intermediates, and the product along the reaction pathway. Herein we report the first enantioselective on-surface synthesis ...
2020Rational strain engineering in delafossite oxides for highly efficient hydrogen evolution catalysis in acidic media
Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Esther Alarcon Llado, Filip Mateusz Podjaski
The rational design of catalysts is crucial to make power-to-X technologies viable. Here the authors introduce the delafossite PdCoO2 as a highly active hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst due to the growth of a tensile-strained Pd-rich capping layer unde ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2020Light-active Metal-Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.
The general scope of this thesis lies in the application of MOFs in photocatalysis. MOFs demonstrate inherent properties â such as high porosity, tunable optoelectronic and catalytic properties, which render them promising candidates for photocatalysis. ...
