Local chemical pressure experimentally sensed by optical probe

The practical application of high-pressure metastable materials is hindered by severe synthesis condition, poor yield, and mostly vanishing phase and phenomena after decompressing. The scaled-up capture of these metastable ...

Watching a bimetallic catalytic surface in action

A team of researchers from the Department of Interface Science at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society addressed the question: what happens to a Ga-promoted Cu surface under reaction conditions required for ...

What drives ions through polymer membranes?

Ion exchange membranes are needed in (photo)electrolyzers, fuel cells and batteries to separate ions and enable the desired processes. Polymeric membranes such as synthetically produced compounds like NAFION are particularly ...
