A new methodology based on the Hamieh thermal model was applied for the determination of the surface properties of solid surfaces. The new approach consisted of the accurate quantification of the London dispersive surface energy of materials using the two-dimensional inverse gas chromatography technique at infinite dilution. This technique used the notion of the net retention volume of adsorbed molecules on the solid catalysts, allowing the determination of the free energy of adsorption.

In this study, we investigate the electrodeposition of various metals on silicon. Mn, Co, Ni, Ru, Pd, Rh, and Pt were identified as promising candidates for controlled electrodeposition onto silicon. Electrochemical evaluations employing cyclic voltammetry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) associated with energy-dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) techniques confirmed the deposition of Pd, Rh, and Pt as nanoparticles.

The exploration of topological nodal point states has recently evolved, moving beyond traditional linear crossings to include higher-order dispersions and multifold degeneracies. This study utilizes first-principles calculations to uncover an ideal multifold nodal point of quadratic order in the binary skutterudite rhodium triarsenide. The band structures around this nodal point show not only simple configuration but also clean distribution.

Electrochemical alkaline water electrolysis offers significant economic advantages; however, these benefits are hindered by the high kinetic energy barrier of the water dissociation step and the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. Herein, the ensemble effect of binary types of Rh single atoms (Rh-N and Rh-O) on TiO-embedded carbon nanofiber (Rh-TiO/CNF) is reported, which serves as potent active sites for high-performance HER in anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE). Density functional theory (DFT) analyses support the experimental observations, highlighting the critical role of binary types of Rh single atoms facilitated by the TiO sites.

The direct electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia is an efficient and environmentally friendly technology, however, developing electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity remains a great challenge. Single-atom catalysts demonstrate unique properties and exceptional performance across a range of catalytic reactions, especially those that encompass multi-step processes. Herein, a straightforward and cost-effective approach is introduced for synthesizing single-atom dispersed Rh on porous TiO spheres (Rh-TiO), which functions as an efficient electrocatalyst for the electroreduction of NO to NH.
