Mellin et. al introduce the method of in vacuo scratching as preparation for XPS measurements of LIB positive electrode materials, which can drastically reduce spectral contaminations and enhance spectral quality, enabling higher information gain.

What causes the increased reactivity of transition metal chalcogenides? Using operando spectroscopy, the restructuring of NiS electrocatalysts into a Ni3S2|NiO system could be demonstrated. This interface can also be held responsible for increased reactivity on a mechanistic level. Find out more here.

Learn in this comprehensive overview how multilayer absorbers for artificial leaves enable a competitive and sustainable photocatalyst for water splitting, how to design these structures and what urgent research questions remain to be answered.

Under the lead of Dr. Marcus Einert, a new young research group is developing at Surface Science Laboratory. A positive grant was given by the BMBF for research on hydrogen production with photoelectrolysis employing tandem absorbers.
