Structure and properties of supersaturated Ni-Au nanoparticles revealed by GRK researchers
In a joint effort across 4 GRK subprojects involving 10 GRK members, CENEM’s strength of combining different (scattering) probes revealed fascinating structural, chemical as well as mechanical properties of supersaturated and highly faceted Ni-Au nanoparticles equilibrated by solid-state dewetting on sapphire. The results, which were recently published in Acta Materialia (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2021.117318), include the impact of […]In a joint effort across 4 GRK subprojects involving 10 GRK members, CENEM’s strength of combining different (scattering) probes revealed fascinating structural, chemical as well as mechanical properties of supersaturated and highly faceted Ni-Au nanoparticles equilibrated by solid-state dewetting on sapphire.

Structural insight into hydrogenated TiO2, a sustainable and noble metal free approach for photocatalysis
Our CENEM & GRK work entitled “Hydrogenated Anatase TiO2 Single Crystals: Defects Formation and Structural Changes as Microscopic Origin for Co-Catalyst Free Photocatalytic H2 Evolution Activity” was just published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A (DOI: 10.1039/D1TA04809K). The photocatalytic activity trend of the anatase epilayers is similar to that of anatase powders and brookite […]Our CENEM & GRK work entitled “Hydrogenated Anatase TiO2 Single Crystals: Defects Formation and Structural Changes as Microscopic Origin for Co-Catalyst Free Photocatalytic H2 Evolution Activity” was just published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A (DOI: 10.1039/D1TA04809K).

Nanomechanics and TEM for enhancing the ductility of metallic thin films
A cooperation between GRK and CENEM researchers unraveled the unexpected positive influence of grain boundary mediated plasticity on the ductility of metallic thin films, with far ranging consequences for applications. The limited ductility of metallic thin films (< 1%) poses a challenge to MEMS and flexible electronics applications. A groups of GRK and CENEM scientists […]

Effective method for removing nanoplastics and microplastics from water
CENEM and GRK members contributed by investigating the morphology and the agglomeration of SPIONs and nano plastic particles by employing scale-briding electron and X-ray microscopy and tomography techniques. The corresponding paper is now published in Materials Today, further details and background information can be found in the press release.
