A cell design for correlative hard X-ray nanoprobe and electron microscopy studies of catalysts under in situ conditions

Julia E. Parker et al.

Summary: Studying catalysts in their catalytic active states is crucial for designing better materials, with in situ or operando conditions providing insights into structure-property relationships. Spatially resolved X-ray techniques are powerful tools for determining structural and electronic properties, complementing high-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies. The developed system allows in situ studies of gas-solid reactions and enables the use of the same cell for multiple techniques under identical conditions.

Local nanoscale phase impurities are degradation sites in halide perovskites

Stuart Macpherson et al.

Summary: Understanding the nanoscopic chemical and structural changes is crucial for mitigating device degradation in emerging energy materials. Researchers have developed a multimodal microscopy toolkit to investigate the impact of phase impurities on the performance and longevity of formamidinium-rich perovskite absorbers. The study also demonstrates that manipulating these impurities can alleviate performance losses and intrinsic degradation processes.

Single-Cell Chemistry of Photoactivatable Platinum Anticancer Complexes

Elizabeth M. Bolitho et al.

Summary: The Pt(IV) prodrug Pt2 shows remarkable photocytotoxicity towards cancer cells, inducing significant cellular damage and vacuole formation, along with increased accumulation of Pt species in cells compared to dark conditions. Synchrotron techniques reveal only partial reduction of Pt2 upon irradiation, suggesting that phototoxicity in cancer cells may involve both Pt(II) photoproducts and photoexcited Pt(IV) species.

Reversible electrochemical oxidation of sulfur in ionic liquid for high-voltage Al-S batteries

Huan Li et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the reversible sulfur oxidation process in AlCl3/carbamide ionic liquid, with high efficiency of around 94% and wide range of workable high potentials. The Al-S battery based on sulfur oxidation can cycle steadily around 1.8 V, the highest operation voltage in Al-S batteries, providing valuable insights for the design of other high-voltage metal-sulfur batteries.

Elucidating the Significance of Copper and Nitrate Speciation in Cu-SSZ-13 for N2O Formation during NH3-SCR

Leila Negahdar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the formation of N2O during NH3-SCR over Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts and establishes a link between the copper environment and N2O production. By comparing two different Cu-SSZ-13 samples, the study reveals an important correlation between the catalytic behavior of Cu-zeolites and the nature of their metal ion loading and speciation.
