Tandem effect of Ag@C@Cu catalysts enhances ethanol selectivity for electrochemical CO2 reduction in flow reactors

Thi Ha My Pham, Andreas Züttel, Wen Luo, Jie Zhang, Mo Li, Youngdon Ko, Cedric David Koolen, Liping Zhong

CO-selective metals (e.g., Ag) on Cu catalysts improve the selec-tivity of multi-carbon (C2+) products in electrochemical CO2 reduc-tion. However, the origin of the improvement remains unclear due to the convolution of tandem and interface effects. Here, A ...

Seasonality of density currents induced by differential cooling

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Tomy Doda, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

When lakes experience surface cooling, the shallow littoral region cools faster than the deep pelagic waters. The lateral density gradient resulting from this differential cooling can trigger a cold downslope density current that intrudes at the base of th ...

Computer Simulation of the Surface of Aqueous Ionic and Surfactant Solutions

Mária Lbadaoui-Darvas

The surface of aqueous solutions of simple salts was not the main focus of scientific attention for a long while. Considerable interest in studying such systems has only emerged in the past two decades, following the pioneering finding that large halide io ...

Picometer Resolution Structure of the Coordination Sphere in the Metal-Binding Site in a Metalloprotein by NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Andrea Bertarello

Most of our understanding of chemistry derives from atomic-level structures obtained with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Metal centers in X-ray structures of small organometallic or coordination complexes are often extremely well-defined, with errors in ...
