How copper catalyzes the electroreduction of carbon dioxide into hydrocarbon fuels
TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations explain copper's unique ability to convert CO2 into hydrocarbons, which may open up (photo-)electrochemical routes to fuels as mentioned in this paper, which may lead to new energy sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activating and optimizing MoS2 basal planes for hydrogen evolution through the formation of strained sulphur vacancies
Hong Li,Charlie Tsai,Ai Leen Koh,Lili Cai,Alex W. Contryman,Alex W. Contryman,Alex H. Fragapane,Alex H. Fragapane,Jiheng Zhao,Hyun Soon Han,Hari C. Manoharan,Hari C. Manoharan,Frank Abild-Pedersen,Jens K. Nørskov,Jens K. Nørskov,Xiaolin Zheng +15 more
TL;DR: This work reports the first activation and optimization of the basal plane of monolayer 2H-MoS2 for HER by introducing sulphur (S) vacancies and strain, which allows it to achieve the highest intrinsic HER activity among molybdenum-sulphide-based catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Active Site of Methanol Synthesis over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Industrial Catalysts
Malte Behrens,Felix Studt,Igor Kasatkin,Stefanie Kühl,Michael Hävecker,Frank Abild-Pedersen,Stefan Zander,Frank Girgsdies,Patrick Kurr,Benjamin-Louis Kniep,Michael Tovar,Richard W. Fischer,Jens K. Nørskov,Jens K. Nørskov,Robert Schlögl +14 more
TL;DR: This work shows how to identify the crucial atomic structure motif for the industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 methanol synthesis catalyst by using a combination of experimental evidence from bulk, surface-sensitive, and imaging methods collected on real high-performance catalytic systems in combination with density functional theory calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density functional theory in surface chemistry and catalysis.
Jens K. Nørskov,Jens K. Nørskov,Jens K. Nørskov,Frank Abild-Pedersen,Frank Abild-Pedersen,Felix Studt,Felix Studt,Thomas Bligaard +7 more
TL;DR: The current status of the heterogeneous catalysts field is discussed with an emphasis on the role of coupling theory and experiment and future challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic-scale imaging of carbon nanofibre growth
Stig Helveg,Carlos López-Cartes,Carlos López-Cartes,Jens Sehested,Poul L. Hansen,Clausen Bjerne Steffen,Jens R. Rostrup-Nielsen,Frank Abild-Pedersen,Jens K. Nørskov +8 more
TL;DR: Time-resolved, high-resolution in situ transmission electron microscope observations of the formation of carbon nanofibres from methane decomposition over supported nickel nanocrystals show that metallic step edges act as spatiotemporal dynamic growth sites and may be important for understanding other types of catalytic reactions and nanomaterial syntheses.
