Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the phase-change mechanism of rewritable optical media.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, different from the current consensus, Ge2Sb2Te5, the material of choice in DVD-RAM, does not possess the rocksalt structure but more likely consists of well-defined rigid building blocks that are randomly oriented in space consistent with cubic symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen-evolution catalysts based on non-noble metal nickel-molybdenum nitride nanosheets.

TL;DR: The first synthesis of NiMo nitride nanosheets on a carbon support (NiMoNx/C) is reported, and the high HER electrocatalytic activity of the resulting NiMoNX/C catalyst with low overpotential and small Tafel slope is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ternary Pt/Rh/SnO2 electrocatalysts for oxidizing ethanol to CO2.

TL;DR: In this article, a ternary PtRhSnO2/C electrocatalyst consisting of platinum and rhodium atoms on carbon-supported tin dioxide nanoparticles is shown to oxidize ethanol to carbon dioxide with high efficiency by splitting C-C bonds at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

A view from the inside: Complexity in the atomic scale ordering of supported metal nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this article, the use of several analytical techniques, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), electron microscopy, and electron diffraction, as tools for characterizing the structural dynamics of supported Pt nanoscale particles was described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the Interplay of Lewis and Brønsted Acid Catalysts in Glucose and Fructose Conversion to 5‑(Hydroxymethyl)furfural and Levulinic Acid in Aqueous Media

TL;DR: Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations indicate a strong interaction between the Cr cation and the glucose molecule whereby some water molecules are displaced from the first coordination sphere of Cr by the glucose to enable ring-opening and isomerization of glucose
