Engineering Metastability in Atomic Layer Deposition: Polymorph and Valence Control

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work presents strategies for stabilizing two types of metastable phases: structural polymorphs and multivalence states via ALD. These approaches focus on lowering the energy barriers required for metastable phase formation, enabling access to metastable states beyond the thermodynamic limits imposed by the low‐temperature conditions of ALD.

Stabilizing Frustrated Phase Transitions in Selective Oxidation Reactions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 8, 6 February 2026.
Using multimodal operando spectromicroscopy, the frustrated phase transition responsible for selective oxidation over cobalt oxide spinel catalysts is identified, corresponding to combined surface reaction and Mars‐van Krevelen (MvK) dynamics. This regime is disrupted by the formation of mobile vacancies and the depletion of active oxygen at high ...
