Alkali metals are attractive anode materials for advanced high-energy-density battery systems because of their high theoretical specific capacities as well as low electrochemical potential. However, ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using argon plasma, metal atoms can be dispersed and guided to desired positions. This ...

Transition-metal-based layered double hydroxides (TM LDHs) have emerged as highly efficient water oxidation catalysts. They are promising and have the potential to replace the rare and expensive ...

Quantum efficiency (QE) of a photoemissive surface is lowered via a sub-monolayer coating of adsorbed alkali metal: we here measure QE of cesium, potassium, and sodium on tungsten and refine ...

A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but ...
