TL;DR: In this paper, a facile solution reduction method is demonstrated for mesoporous Co3O4 nanowires treated with NaBH4, which leads to efficient surface reduction in solution at room temperature, which allows for retention of the nanowire morphology and 1D charge transport behavior, while at the same time substantially increasing the oxygen vacancies on the surface.

TL;DR: Surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy allows direct observation of several reaction intermediates that have never been detected before, except for the commonly detected CO, which sheds light on the full understanding of the CO2RR on Cu surfaces and developing more advanced catalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the advances in the study of reaction mechanisms and electrocatalytic materials for EOR over the past two decades with a focus on Pt- and Pd-based catalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface roughening conditions for the SERS from the adsorbed pyridine, thiocynate and hydrogen are assessed in terms of the corresponding surface Raman intensities, enhancement factors and surface homogeneity.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that developing new anti-CO poisoning catalysts coupled with sensitive interfacial analysis is an effective way toward rational design of cost-effective catalysts for better hydrogen energy exploitation.
