Surface Adsorption to Bulk Storage: Integrating Experimental and Theoretical Insights into Hydrogen Behavior on Palladium

This study integrates experimental characterization and density functional theory to demonstrate that hydrogen uptake in both palladium foils and nanowires follows a unified mechanism where barrierless, exergonic migration from the surface to the bulk facilitates robust diffusion with a 0.123 eV barrier, regardless of the material's morphology.

Carbonylation of Glycerol with CO2 to Glycerol Carbonate over Zinc Hydroxystannate

This study demonstrates that zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) catalysts, particularly those prepared via alkaline-assisted surface treatment (CPAST), effectively promote the direct carbonylation of glycerol with CO₂ to glycerol carbonate under mild conditions, with catalytic activity directly correlated to the surface basicity driven by Sn⁴⁺ reduction and oxygen vacancy formation.
