New article published in Angewandte Chemie

Changes in electrode surface chemistry under electrochemical conditions critically influence electrocatalytic performance. In this communication, in-situ electrochemical X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to monitor the surface state of tungsten carbide (WC) powder electrodes during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and at oxidative potentials. This study was led by Julia Kunze-Liebhäuser (University of Innsbruck).

Perspective article published in ACS Nano

A new perspective article has been published in ACS Nano introducing the simultaneous operation of electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy and force microscopy using a qPlus sensor, highlighting its future potential to provide high precision, enhanced flexibility and versatility, particularly as a multimodal approach to interface characterization. This work was published in collaboration with Franz Giessibl (University of Regensburg) and Julia Kunze-Liebhäuser (University of Innsbruck).
