TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ in situ electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation techniques to examine the ORR process at Pt(hkl) surfaces.

TL;DR: To elucidate the structures of electric double layers at electrochemical interfaces, in situ Raman spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics are combined and two structural transitions of interfacial water at electrified Au single-crystal electrode surfaces are identified.

TL;DR: In situ SHINERS can provide a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of catalysis by identifying the working mechanisms for CO oxidation over PtFe and Pd nanocatalysts, which are typical low- and high-temperature catalysts, respectively.

TL;DR: A facile chemical method to prepare shell-isolated Ag nanoparticle/tip is reported, which features an alternative plasmon-mediated photocatalysis pathway by smartly blocking "hot" electrons and offers a unique way for the promotion of ultrahigh sensitivity and reliability in plAsmon-enhanced spectroscopies.

TL;DR: The sensor is capable of detecting bovine serum albumin with an ultralow concentration and has great potential for practical application for its ultrahigh FOM, broad working wavelength, and ease of high-throughput fabrication.
