Coming to the surface: The surface composition of carbon-supported Pt(3)Co catalyst particles changes upon a CO-annealing treatment. Platinum atoms segregate to the particle surface so that nanoparticles with a platinum shell surrounding an alloy core are formed. This modified catalyst has a superior activity in the oxygen reduction reaction compared to both a plain platinum catalyst and the untreated alloy particles.

MoS and related transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently been reported as having extensive applications in nanoelectronics and catalysis because of their unique physical and chemical properties. However, one practical challenge for MoS-based applications arises from the easiness of oxygen contamination, which is likely to degrade performance. To this end, understanding the states and related energetics of adsorbed oxygen is critical.

Ultrathin lead films on metallic and semiconductor substrates are technologically demanded and actively studied by different experimental and theoretical methods. The formation of these films gives rise to new adsorbate-induced electron states and vibrational modes. The dynamical properties of atoms on surfaces depend sensitively on their bonding environment and thus provide valuable insight into the local geometry and chemical bonding at the boundary of a solid.

Violet phosphorus (VP), a novel two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, boasts structural anisotropy, a tunable optical bandgap, and superior thermal stability compared with its allotropes. Its multifunctionality has sparked widespread interest in the community. Yet, the VP's air susceptibility impedes both probing its intrinsic features and device integration, thus making it of urgent significance to unveil the degradation mechanism.

The behavior of adsorbate-induced surface transformation can be clearly understood given the mechanical aspects of such phenomenon are well described at the atomic level. In this study, we provide the atomic-level description on the formation of Cu clusters on the Cu(111) surface by performing set of molecular dynamics simulations driven by machine-learning force-field. The simulations at 450 K-550 K show clusters are formed within a hundred of ns when the Cu surface is exposed with CO.

Recent experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated the reaction-driven metal-metal bond breaking in metal catalytic surfaces even under relatively mild conditions. Here, we construct a density functional theory (DFT) database for the adsorbate-induced adatom formation energy on the close-packed facets of three hexagonal close-packed metals (Co, Ru, and Re) and two body-centered cubic metals (Li and Fe), where the source of the ejected metal atom is either a step edge or a close-packed surface. For Co and Ru, we also considered their metastable face-centered cubic structures.
