Simultaneous measurements of solid–liquid interfaces and bulk liquids using soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation
Simultaneous measurement methods for soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of solid–liquid interfaces and bulk liquids have been developed. The O K-edge XAS spectra of H2O/Au interfaces and bulk H2O were measured using a transmission-type liquid cell,

In Situ Amine Formation to Modulate MOF‐Derived PdIn N‐Doped Carbon Catalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An amine‐assisted approach converts PdIn‐MOF into PdIn intermetallic nanoparticles embedded in N‐doped carbon. In situ‐generated amines trigger early Pd nucleation, producing smaller PdIn domains than direct pyrolysis. Amine sterics and basicity tune composition and particle size, while solvent and amine co‐determine textural features.

Unveiling Exsolution‐Induced Giant Electronic and Magnetic Property Changes in Non‐Stoichiometric Titanate Perovskite Thin Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A giant insulator to metal transition and emergent superparamagnetism are revealed by nanoparticle exsolution in non‐stoichiometric titanate perovskite thin films. By combining transport, synchrotron spectroscopy, and first‐principles calculations, this work reveals how defect reconfiguration and lattice reconstruction fundamentally reshape electronic ...

Laplace‐Pressure‐Stabilized Rutile Solid‐Solution Catalysts for Acidic Water Oxidation: Enabling DSA‐Inspired Compositions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The miscibility of foreign elements in rutile‐type IrO2 and SnO2 is greatly enhanced under high Laplace pressure, where their crystal size is reduced to the nanoscale. This enhancement leads to the successful synthesis of DSA‐composition solid‐solution nanocatalysts with notable durability during the acidic OER in water electrolysis.

Stabilized Bi(III) Sites Direct *NH2OH Pathway for Efficient Cyclohexanone Oxime Electrosynthesis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The electron‐buffering effect stabilizes Bi3+ sites under electroreductive conditions, preserving a favorable interfacial water configuration that sustains the selective *NH2OH pathway and enables efficient cyclohexanone oxime electrosynthesis. ABSTRACT Coupling electrocatalytic nitrite reduction reaction (NO2−RR) with cyclohexanone conversion enables ...

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric‐Like Two‐Dimensional Electron Gas at Room Temperature

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the realization of a novel ferroelectric‐like two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) based on the epitaxial interface between SrO‐terminate SrTiO3 and ferroeletric KNb0.5Na0.5O3${\rm KNb}_{0.5}{\rm Na}_{0.5}{\rm O}_3$ thin films. We show nonvolatile control of the transport properties enabling spatially reconfigurable devices in which ...
