Systematic atomistic studies of surface reactivity for amorphous materials have not been possible in the past because complexity these and lack computer power necessary to draw representative statistics. With emergence popularization machine learning (ML) approaches science, systematic (and accurate) chemistry disordered are now coming within reach. In this paper, we show how carbon (a-C) surfaces can be systematically quantified understood by a combination ML interatomic potentials,...

Carbonaceous materials, especially tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), can form complex functionalized surface structures and are thus promising candidates for applications in biomedical devices electrochemistry. Functional groups at ta-C surfaces have been widely studied by spectroscopic techniques; however, interpretation of the experimental data is extremely difficult, case X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) absorption (XAS). The assignments XPS XAS signals normally based on...

Tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) is widely used for coatings because of its superior mechanical properties and has been suggested as an electrode material detecting biomolecules. Despite extensive research, however, the complex atomic-scale structures chemical reactivity ta-C surfaces are incompletely understood. Here, we combine machine learning, density functional tight binding, theory simulations to shed new light on this long-standing problem. We make atomistic models surfaces,...

Carbon-based nanomaterials are a promising platform for diverse technologies, but their rational design requires more detailed chemical control over structure and properties than is currently available. A long-standing challenge the field has been in interpretation use of experimental X-ray spectra, especially amorphous disordered forms carbon. Here, we outline unified approach to simultaneously quantitatively analyze absorption spectroscopy (XAS) photoelectron (XPS) spectra carbonaceous...

Successful deployment of carbon nanomaterials in many applications, such as sensing, energy storage, and catalysis, relies on the selection, synthesis, tailoring surface properties. Predictive analysis behavior is difficult without detailed knowledge differences between various their functionalization, thus leaving selection process to traditional trial-and-error work. The present characterization fills this gap for nanomaterial properties with respect chemical states functionalization. We...

Here we investigated the electrochemical properties and dopamine (DA) detection capability of SU-8 photoresist based pyrolytic carbon (PyC) as well its biocompatibility with neural cells. This approach is compatible microfabrication techniques which crucial for device development. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that PyC consists 98.5% carbon, while oxygen plasma treatment (PyC-O2) increases amount up to 27.1%. showed nearly reversible (ΔEp 63 mV) electron transfer kinetics towards...

In this work, we demonstrate how to identify and characterize the atomic structure of pristine functionalized graphene materials from a combination computational simulation X-ray spectra, on one hand, computer-aided interpretation experimental other. Despite enormous scientific industrial interest, precise these 2D remains under debate. As show in study, wide range model structures heavily oxidized can be studied understood with same approach. We move systematically highly defective models,...

A pre-reforming unit is needed if liquid hydrocarbon fuels, such as gasoline or diesel, are used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems. Although removes most of the higher hydrocarbons, there may still be some fractions left reformate flow. Ethene was chosen to subject this work because it has been analyzed significant impurity diesel reformate. In work, an anode supported examine behavior and performance a SOFC when ethene added hydrogen feed. The concentration feed increased stepwise...
