In Situ Electron Microscopy Reveals How Heat Shapes Stability of Pt Single Atoms on TiO₂ for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production
A research team from the Department of Materials Science at FAU has made a significant step forward in understanding how platinum single atoms (Pt SAs) behave under thermal conditions on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) surfaces—crucial knowledge for advancing photocatalytic hydrogen generation. Their findings, recently published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A, highlight how thermally induced agglomeration […]A research team from the Department of Materials Science at FAU has made a significant step forward in understanding how platinum single atoms (Pt SAs) behave under thermal conditions on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) surfaces—crucial knowledge for advancing photocatalytic hydrogen generation.

Correlative electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and DFT reveal the influence of substrate polarity on metal thin film growth characteristics
IMN/CENEM researchers recently published their study on the “Influence of substrate polarity on thermal stability, grain growth and atomic interface structure of Au thin films on ZnO surfaces” in Acta Materialia (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2024.120531). The work was carried out in close collaboration with the Institute of Crystallography and Structural Physics (ICSP)/CENEM, the Interdisciplinary Center for Molecular Materials […]IMN/CENEM researchers recently published their study on the “Influence of substrate polarity on thermal stability, grain growth and atomic interface structure of Au thin films on ZnO surfaces” in Acta Materialia (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2024.120531).

Highlights from Superalloys 2024
We are proud to announce two paper contributions to the 15th International Symposium on Superalloys, which took place from September 8th-12th, 2024, in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania (USA). Both contributions enhance our understanding of stacking faults, a critical aspect of high-temperature deformation in superalloys. These works are the culmination of over a decade of research persued […]
