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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the use of silicon as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, which has the highest theoretical capacity (Li4.4Sio4200 mAhg) of all known materials.

TL;DR: Ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy (APPES) as mentioned in this paper is a technique that can be used to analyze surfaces in the presence of gases and vapors, as encountered in industrial catalysis and atmospheric environments.

TL;DR: Nanostructuring and nanoarchitecturing are landmarks in the development of high-performance electrodes for with long cycle lifes and high safety, and materials science aspects on nanocarbon-based materials for these applications are described.

TL;DR: The functionalization procedure presented in this work allows high versatility and flexibility in tailoring the surface chemistry of nanocarbon material to specific needs in catalysis as well as electronic device materials.
