When a chalcogen vacancy is present, the cation in the TMD becomes under-coordinated, leaving two excess electrons that alter the electronic environment of the transition metal adsorbate. This altered ...

Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) based on transition metals (TMs) have been identified as highly active catalysts with excellent atomic efficiency, reduced consumption of expensive materials, ...

To build all of the solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicle batteries, and other technologies necessary to fight climate change, we’re going to need a lot more metals. Mining those metals from ...
