A range of chemical reactions occurring on the surfaces of metal nanoparticles exhibit enhanced rates under plasmonic excitation. Recent analyses based on Arrhenius law fitting have argued in favor of a purely photothermal mechanism of enhancement and suggested the lack of an involvement of hot electrons. However, there is a caveat as shown here: under certain scenarios, it is practically impossible to distinguish between a photochemical (non-thermal) effect of plasmonic excitation and a purely photothermal one using a phenomenological Arrhenius fitting of the reaction rates alone.
Electrostatic reaction inhibition in heterogeneous catalysis emerges if charged reactants and products are adsorbed on the catalyst and thus repel the approaching reactants. In this work, we study the effects of electrostatic inhibition on the reacti
The quantum computation of electronic energies can break the curse of dimensionality that plagues many-particle quantum mechanics. It is for this reason that a universal quantum computer has the potential to fundamentally change computational chemist
The determination of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model (and its extensions) is often limited by the presence of statistical and theoretical uncertainties. We present several models for the latter uncertainties (random, nuisance, extern
Methanol occupies a central role in chemical synthesis and is considered an ideal candidate for cleaner fuel storage and transportation. It can be catalyzed from water and volatile organic compounds such as carbon dioxide, thereby offering an attract
The rational design of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts which are competitive with platinum is an outstanding challenge to make power-to-gas technologies economically viable. Here, we introduce the delafossites PdCrO$_2$, PdCoO$_2$
