The surface science of titanium dioxide

TL;DR: Titanium dioxide is the most investigated single-crystalline system in the surface science of metal oxides, and the literature on rutile (1.1) and anatase surfaces is reviewed in this paper.

Trends in activity for the water electrolyser reactions on 3d M(Ni,Co,Fe,Mn) hydr(oxy)oxide catalysts.

TL;DR: The overall catalytic activities for these reaction as a function of a more fundamental property, a descriptor, OH-M(2+δ) bond strength (0 ≤ δ ≤ 1.5), provide the foundation for rational design of 'active sites' for practical alkaline HER and OER electrocatalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The surface and materials science of tin oxide

TL;DR: A review of surface science studies of single crystal surfaces, but selected studies on powder and polycrystalline films are also incorporated in order to provide connecting points between surface sciences studies with the broader field of materials science of tin oxide as discussed by the authors.

Enhancing Hydrogen Evolution Activity in Water Splitting by Tailoring Li+-Ni(OH)2-Pt Interfaces

TL;DR: It is found that a controlled arrangement of nanometer-scale Ni(OH)2 clusters on platinum electrode surfaces manifests a factor of 8 activity increase in catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction relative to state-of-the-art metal and metal-oxide catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theory of rubber friction and contact mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case when the substrate surface has a self affine fractal structure and present a theory for the area of real contact, both for stationary and sliding bodies, with elastic or elastoplastic properties.

Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode

TL;DR: Water photolysis is investigated by exploiting the fact that water is transparent to visible light and cannot be decomposed directly, but only by radiation with wavelengths shorter than 190 nm.

Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic and Coordination Compounds

TL;DR: In this article, the normal modes of vibration are illustrated and corresponding vibrational frequencies are listed for each type, including diatomic, triatomic, fouratomic, five-atomic, six-atomic and seven-atomic types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wetting: statics and dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an attempt towards a unified picture with special emphasis on certain features of "dry spreading": (a) the final state of a spreading droplet need not be a monomolecular film; (b) the spreading drop is surrounded by a precursor film, where most of the available free energy is spent; and (c) polymer melts may slip on the solid and belong to a separate dynamical class, conceptually related to the spreading of superfluids.

Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on one major aspect of cloud microphysics, which involves the processes that lead to the formation of individual cloud and precipitation particles, and provide an account of the major characteristics of atmospheric aerosol particles.
