Article Abstract
For the first time, we used the electrochemical shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SHINERS) technique to in situ characterize the adsorption behaviour of four DNA bases (adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine) on atomically flat Au(111) electrode surfaces. The spectroscopic results of the various molecules reveal similar features, such as the adsorption-induced reconstruction of the Au(111) surface and the drastic Raman intensity reduction of the ring breathing modes after the lifting reconstruction. As a preliminary study of the photo-induced charge transfer (PICT) mechanism, the in situ spectroscopic results obtained on single crystal surfaces are excellently illustrated with electrochemical data.

The development of next-generation Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to meet the demands of advancing technology and energy storage requires focus on the formation of effective interphases on both the positive and negative electrodes. Different promising approaches to facilitate effective interphase formation are already known Out of these, the incorporation of film-forming electrolyte additives is a straight-forward strategy to achieve this goal. In the presented study, a bifunctional electrolyte additive, (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-yl)methyl thiophene-3-carboxylate composed of two functional motifs, vinylene carbonate (VC) and thiophene, is reported.

The fundamental properties of electrochemical materials depend on the multiple and often complex interactions between electrode surface sites and electrolyte species at the electrochemical interface. Despite the use of iridium in electrolyzer systems, much of its surface electrochemistry remains underexplored. This study investigates the surface electrochemistry of the Ir(111), Ir(100), and Ir(110) surfaces in acidic media.

Metal interconnection in integrated circuits (IC) is often obtained with electroplating copper in the high-aspect micronano vias. Electroplating additives are crucial for the void-free filling in order to overcome the nonuniform potential distribution and insufficient mass transfer inside the high-aspect micronano vias. However, revealing the molecular action mechanism of the additive is hindered for conventional spectroscopy techniques such as Raman spectroscopy due to the low operando concentration of these additives.

Low-temperature direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) can be used for the on-demand generation of clean electricity. However, such systems have low efficiency due to the kinetically sluggish ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Prior reports have largely focused on Pt-based electrocatalysts, however, their high cost motivates the need for simultaneously increasing activity whilst reducing the metal loading.

The electrochemical reduction of CO to useful chemicals holds promise for a sustainable carbon cycle. However, the key factors that control the pathways to various desired products remain unresolved, partially due to the limited knowledge of reaction intermediates on the electrode surface. To address this, we utilize in situ electrochemical shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculation to examine the potential-dependent composition of adsorbed species during CO reduction on polycrystalline copper.
