Active Phase of Nickel Electrocatalysts Driving Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution
Using depth‐resolved and operando spectroscopic measurements coupled with electrochemical mass spectrometry, the authors uncover the critical role of sub‐surface oxidised species in increasing the activity and durability of Ni‐based cathodes for hydrogen evolution.

Imide substitution with bulky 2,6‐isopropylphenyl groups induces perylene diimide to self‐assemble on Ag(111) into a monolayer with two coexisting adsorption heights. Molecules closer to the substrate gain metallic character due to charge transfer from the metal, while farther ones remain decoupled and semiconducting.

Study on the Reaction Mechanism of RuOx and Its Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Activity
In situ Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations reveal that, prior to the onset of HER, the surface of RuOx undergoes reversible reduction and structural reconstruction. The resulting Ru(II)O/Ru(IV)O2 configuration is identified as the true catalytically active species.

A self‐assembled monolayer (≈0.9 nm) of an axially chiral binaphthol phosphoric acid derivative on a ferromagnetic Ni/NiOx substrate shows chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) magnetoresistance of 50%–80%. This thermally and chemically robust functional stack shows the way towards practical spintronic devices based on the CISS effect.

We apply ex situ and in situ scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy to reveal the structural degradation of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell catalyst layers due to conditioning and thermal heating of the catalyst coated membrane. We observe a redistribution of the ionomer and carbon‐black in the catalyst layer, as well as nanoscale membrane ...

A non‐destructive, quantitative approach has been developed to explore the nanoscale dynamics of TaOx‐based memristive devices. The utilization of nano‐X‐ray fluorescence analysis enables the direct probing of spatially resolved elemental distributions, including those present in buried layers, that are critical for the resistive switching.

Ultra‐Thin and Highly Insulating Aromatic Monolayers by N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes
By using N‐heterocyclic carbenes extremally insulating and at the same time as thin as 0.3 nm molecular films are formed. The charge transport calculations indicate absence of destructive quantum interference effect which was so far the only way to suppress conductivity in aromatic molecules.

Adsorption of 5-Fluorouracil on Au(111) and Cu(111) surfaces
The adsorption of 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) on Au(111) and Cu(111) surfaces as a function of molecular coverage and temperature has been studied, using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy.
