The unified electronic nature of nanomaterial surface science
Guolei Xiang
The properties of inorganic nanomaterials in adsorption, catalysis, and photoluminescence are commonly affected or dominated by particle size, surface ligand, and ligand coverage;…

The general electronic principle driving size-dependent surface chemical activities of nanomaterials
Guolei Xiang, Yang-gang Wang
Size can widely affect the surface chemical activities (SCAs) of nanomaterials in chemisorption, catalysis, surface effects, etc., but the underlying electronic nature has long rem…

Electronic nature of coverage-dependent nanosurface effect by cooperative orbital redistribution
Guolei Xiang, Yan Tang, Zigeng Liu +6
Nanomaterial surface states can effectively modify or even dominate their physical and chemical properties due to large surface-to-volume ratios. Such surface effects are highly de…
