Our understanding of PdHx/Pd electrode surfaces is bringing us a step closer to unravelling what happened during Fleischmann & Pons 'Cold Fusion' experiments.

We’re excited to share our latest Computational & Experimental Study on Hydride-Induced Reconstruction of Pd Electrode Surfaces, now published in Advanced Materials @AdvPortfolio.

🎉 Congrats to @ktpalapin @SousaNikk from our MACATAMO-group 👏👏

Congratulations Apinya !!!👏👏👏

Sam's SAM has unusual water vapor sorption properties + strange guest-induced structural transformations. Read in @ACSMatLett: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Congrats to all @ZGroupUL and @MACATAMO_Group authors on 2025 paper #1, especially @SamM_Shabangu for his first 1st author paper.

Congrats @KKoupepidou for never giving up on this sorbent + @Barbour_Group @MACATAMO_Group who provided insight into sorption mechanism (angular linker = 😀)

Happy to share a new co-first authored paper in Advanced Materials! We investigate the reconstruction processes on Pd well-defined surfaces after H-insertion by both experimental and computational approaches @hiern_de @ECS_TUM @UL @ruhrunibochum

Brilliant 2 days of MOF presentations and brainstorming hosted by Neil and @UoBChemistry in their swanky new digs.
@ZGroupUL, @MACATAMO_Group + @MukherjeeChem pleased to present + participate in the discussions. Looking forward to future partnerships.

The 3D periodic structure of only two domains was demonstrated to exhibit a band gap.
The computationally predicted type-II band alignment between the two semiconductor domains facilitates electron-hole pair separation and enhances solar power conversion efficiency.
