Hydrogen transport between layers of transition-metal dichalcogenides
Hydrogen is a crucial source of green energy and is extensively studied for its potential usage in fuel cells. The advent of 2D crystals (2DCs) has taken hydrogen research to new heights, enabling it to tunnel through layers of 2DCs or be transported within voids between the layers, as demonstrated…

Selective adsorption of dihydrogen isotopes on DUT-8 (Ni,Co) monitored by in situ electron paramagnetic resonance
In situ continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance investigation has been proven as a powerful method by employing paramagnetic Ni²⁺–Co²⁺ pairs as spin probes to follow the isotope-selective gate opening phenomenon on the DUT-8(Ni₀.₉₈Co₀.₀₂) framework. This method is very sensitive to detect…

Vibrational spectroscopy of Cu⁺(H₂)₄: about anharmonicity and fluxionality
The vibrational spectra of the copper(I) cation–dihydrogen complexes Cu⁺(H₂)₄, Cu⁺(D₂)₄ and Cu⁺(D₂)₃H₂ are studied using cryogenic ion trap vibrational spectroscopy in combination with quantum chemical calculations. The infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectra (2500–7300 cm⁻¹) are assigned based on…
The ¹²³H Colloquium is organised two to three times per semester as a half-day workshop and aims at disentangling challenging topics of the RTG. It starts with a brown-bag lunch with the guest lecturer and the doctoral (and postdoctoral) researchers. Subsequently, two doctoral researchers present…
During the PI meeting, RTG-relevant strategic issues, such as scientific progress, visiting researchers (including Mercator Fellows), qualification programme, and funds, are discussed.
