In this work, we revisit the dissociative sticking of methane on Pt(110)-(2×1) using quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations and supersonic molecular beam (SMB) experiments. Experimentally, we apply the King and Wells method and the reflection absorp ...
In my thesis, I present an investigation of the dissociation reactions of gas phase molecules on single crystal metal surfaces studied by a molecular beam in combination with Reflection Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIRS). Two gas/surface systems were ...

Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is widely used to identify molecular adsorbates on metals during surface chemical reactions, but the interpretation of RAIRS data can be difficult with experiment alone. Here, we reveal from first-princip ...
We present a comprehensive review of methods and applications of molecular simulations of interfacial systems. We give a detailed overview of the main techniques and major challenges in the following aspects of solid and fluid surfaces: adsorption at solid ...
Developing a high-performance catalyst and establishing a catalytic mechanism for understanding the catalytic activity are crucial to new generation photovoltaic technology. In this work, we present a feasible and general route to synthesize a bio-based po ...
Capturing the surface-structural dynamics of metal electrocatalysts under certain electrochemical environments is intriguingly desired for understanding the behavior of various metal-based electrocatalysts. However, in situ monitoring of the evolution of a ...
We report a combined experimental and theoretical study comparing methane dissociation on three di erent platinum surfaces Pt(111), Pt(211), and Pt(110)-(1 × 2). Re ection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) was used to detect chemisorbed methyl speci ...

The dissociation of methane on transition metal surfaces is not only of fundamental interest but also of industrial importance as it represents a rate-controlling step in the steam-reforming reaction used commercially to produce hydrogen. Recently, a speci ...

Diffusion controlled chemical reactions are usually observed in three dimensionalmedia. In contrast, planar bimolecular reactions taking place between reagents adsorbed at a soft interface are two-dimensional and therefore cannot be studied within the same ...

Single amino acids are present in blood plasma and are the building blocks of larger organic residues. Their interaction with surfaces is therefore crucial for biomedical applications in contact with blood. In this work, we use well-tempered metadynamics t ...
