Ulm University Team Uses Raman Overtones to Reassign the Nickel-Anode Surface during Alkaline Electrolysis

Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41929-026-01613-9 At a glance Nickel-based anodes are active and relatively low-cost catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline water electrolysis. Under operating conditions, their oxidized surfaces have commonly been described as nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH). A team from

Sichuan University, ETH Zurich and USTC team maps localized hydrogen activation around one plasmonic junction

Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-026-02245-z At a glance Researchers from Sichuan University, ETH Zurich and the University of Science and Technology of China have examined the chemical response around a single light-driven junction on platinum. They positioned a silver tip above an OPE-thiolate-
