Effect of Surface Temperature on the Distribution and Reactivity of Rh Active Sites for CO Oxidation Open
Single‐atom catalysts are a fast‐emerging area in which late‐transition metal atoms are supported on oxides, metals, and carbonaceous supports. They show great promise for selective chemical reactions due to their well‐defined active sites…

Hypothetical Efficiency of Electrical to Mechanical Energy Transfer during Individual Stochastic Molecular Switching Events Open
There are now many examples of single molecule rotors, motors, and switches in the literature that, when driven by photons, electrons, or chemical reactions, exhibit well-defined motions. As a step toward using these single molecule device…

Visualizing the origin of rotational entropy effects in coadsorbed systems Open
We demonstrate that significant entropic effects govern the stability of rotationally constrained molecular complexes on surfaces. Using a complementary combination of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, temperature programmed d…

Accelerated Cu<sub>2</sub>O Reduction by Single Pt Atoms at the Metal-Oxide Interface Open
The reducibility of metal oxides, when they serve as the catalyst support or are the active sites themselves, plays an important role in heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Here we present an integrated experimental and theoretical study th…

Atomic-Scale Surface Structure and CO Tolerance of NiCu Single-Atom Alloys Open
Ni is one of the most extensively utilized metals in industrial catalysis. For example, Ni is the catalyst of choice for the steam reforming of hydrocarbons. However, pure Ni also detrimentally catalyzes the formation of graphitic carbon, …

Combining STM, RAIRS and TPD to Decipher the Dispersion and Interactions Between Active Sites in RhCu Single‐Atom Alloys Open
Single‐atom alloys are a new class of heterogeneous catalyst in which trace amounts of metal dopants exist as individual, isolated sites in a host metal. In this study, we examine RhCu, a new single‐atom alloy with a combination of scannin…

Surface-Templated Assembly of Molecular Methanol on the Thin Film “29” Cu(111) Surface Oxide Open
Identifying and characterizing the atomic-scale interaction of methanol with oxidized Cu surfaces is of fundamental relevance to industrial reactions, such as methanol steam reforming and methanol synthesis. Here, we investigate the adsorp…
