Surface oxidation chemistry involves the formation and breaking of metal-oxygen (M-O) bonds. Ideally, the M-O bonding strength determines the rate of oxygen absorption and dissociation. Here, we design reactive bridging O species within the atomic Cu-O-Fe site to accelerate such oxidation chemistry.

- The study aims to learn from the experiences of various countries that implemented a "find, test, trace, isolate, support" (FTTIS) approach during the early COVID-19 pandemic.
- A systematic review identified 118 studies, analyzing their objectives, methods, and outcomes to determine effective strategies for controlling disease spread when treatments or vaccines were unavailable.
- Key components of a successful FTTIS system include border controls, comprehensive testing, extended quarantines, digital tools for contact tracing, and support for those in isolation, all integrated through ongoing planning and coordination.
Electronic metal-support interactions (EMSI) describe the electron flow between metal sites and a metal oxide support. It is generally used to follow the mechanism of redox reactions. In this study of CuO-CeO redox, an additional flow of electrons from metallic Cu to surface carbon species is observed via a combination of operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, near ambient pressure near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy.

Precise control over the energies of these sites is key to achieving novel reaction pathways with superior selectivity. Here, we achieve selective oxygen (O) activation by utilising a framework of cerium (Ce) cations to reduce the energy of 3d orbitals of isolated copper (Cu) sites.
