CO‐Adsorption on MgO Revisited: Polarization‐Resolved Identification of Step Edges as the Dominant Defects on MgO(100) and MgO(110)

ABSTRACT Magnesium oxide is a paradigmatic ionic oxide, yet its experimentally observed chemical activity remains difficult to reconcile with its wide band gap and non‐reducible character. Here, we combine polarization‐dependent infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy with hy...

Isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ Pairs as Structural Motifs that Enhance CO2-to-Methanol Conversion

Abstract Isolated dual-atom sites constitute a promising yet largely unexplored strategy for directing reaction intermediates in CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. In this work, we identify isolated Cu+–O–Ga3+ dual-atom motifs and provide a mechanistically consistent interpretation l...
