TL;DR: In this article , a transition-metal-free catalyst, Potassium hydride-intercalated graphite (KH0.19C24), was demonstrated to achieve NH3 synthesis at atmospheric pressure and achieved NH3 productivity comparable to the classical noble metal catalyst Ru/MgO at temperatures of 250-400 °C and 1 MPa.

TL;DR: Near ambient pressure x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that exposure to H2 at elevated temperatures led to a gradual enrichment of the surface of the Au–Ag nanoparticles by Ag, highlighting the importance of considering progressive atomic rearrangements in bimetallic nanocatalysts under reaction conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a metal overgrowth on gold nanorods within a mesoporous silica shell, resulting in Au-Ag, Au-Pd, and AuPt core-shell nanorod with precisely tunable plasmonic properties.

TL;DR: The Center for Atomic-Level Catalyst Design (CALC-D) as discussed by the authors was developed by the Department of Energy to accelerate research synergism among experimental and theoretical scientists in catalysis.

TL;DR: It is shown that supports play a crucial role in the evolution of monolayer‐protected clusters into catalysts, and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations represent an important step toward the synthesis of atomically precise supported nanomaterials with tailored physico‐chemical properties.
