Electronic metal-support interactions in vacuum vs. electrolyte

Substrate co-doping modulates electronic metal-support interactions and significantly enhances single-atom catalysis.

Transitional metal nanoparticles or atoms deposited on appropriate substrates can lead to highly economical, efficient, and selective catalysis. One of the greatest challenges is to control the electronic metal-support interactions (EMSI) between the supported metal atoms and the substrate so as to optimize their catalytic performance. Here, from first-principles calculations, we show that an o...

Editorial: Data Mining in Electronic Commerce - Support vs. Confidence

In the year 2001, one of the authors of this editorial wrote an article about support versus confidence in the data mining technique, association rules. This article was presented at a conference and never formally published [22]. In the last four years this article has been downloaded nearly twenty-thousand times from an open access repository. This interest by researchers and practitioners ha...

Modeling Social Interactions to Support Conflict Management in Electronic Collaboration

Collaborative projects are relatively complex and therefore are difficult to handle. Representing and analyzing social interactions among stakeholders in a systematic way are crucial to improving the collaboration productivity. This paper provides a generic modeling approach that explicitly represents the knowledge perspectives of stakeholders and their evolution traversing a collaborative proc...

Strong metal-support interactions: An extra layer of complexity.

Molecular Self-Assembly at Metal-Electrolyte Interfaces

The self-assembly of molecular layers has become an important strategy in modern design of functional materials. However, in particular, large organic molecules may no longer be sufficiently volatile to be deposited by vapor deposition. In this case, deposition from solution may be a promising route; in ionic form, these molecules may even be soluble in water. In this contribution, we present a...
