“…Thus, carrier lifetimes, for example, can be accurately measured without attenuation due to defect scattering. 8,9 An emerging area of surface science research is the study of organic/inorganic interfaces, 10 which are important for a number of applications, including catalysis, 11 biocompatibility, 12 nanoelectronics, organic electronics, photonics, and photovoltaics, 13Ϫ17 as well as for increasing a fundamental understanding of surface chemistry. A key challenge in studying these interfaces lies in correlating their morphologies with their physical and chemical properties, in particular, their electronic structure.…”

“…With weak noncovalent binding including electrostatic interactions between static molecular charges, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, π-π interactions, hydrophilic binding, and charge-transfer interactions, many new self-assembled structures with various sizes, shapes, and functions have been designed [23,43,44]. Different from weak interactions in these systems, strong chemical bonding is commonly existent in many interfacial systems such as functionalization of functionalized semiconductor surface with organic molecules and chemically coating layers resisting surface corrosion [23,43,45]. A large number of surface phenomena result from or at least involve the strong chemical binding at interfaces.…”

This article briefly reviews the development of surface science and its close relevance to nanoscience and heterogeneous catalysis. The focus of this article is to highlight the importance of nanoscale surface science for understanding heterogeneous catalysis performing at solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces. Surface science has built a foundation for the understanding of catalysis based on the studies of well-defined single-crystal catalysts in the past several decades. Studies of catalysis on well-defined nanoparticles (NPs) significantly promoted the understanding of catalytic mechanisms to an unprecedented level in the last decade. To understand reactions performed on catalytic active sites at nano or atomic scales and thus reach the goal of catalysis by design, studies of the surface of nanocatalysts are crucial. The challenges in such studies are discussed.

“…for new electronic, light-emitting and photovoltaic devices based on organic materials. The interaction of organic molecules and non-metallic surfaces, on the other hand, has attracted much less attention, although the technological relevance of this combination is equally large [3]. Interfaces between organic matter and oxide supports, for example, are of crucial importance for liquid-solid solar cells, in which the optical excitation occurs in molecular sensitizers, while separation and transport of the photo-generated carriers is realized by an oxide [4].…”

Adsorption of thioether molecules on an alumina thin film

Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy has been employed to study the adsorption of (bis(3-phenylthio)-phenyl)sulfane (BPPS) molecules on an aluminum-oxide film grown on NiAl(110). Large variations in the molecular coverage on incompletely oxidized samples indicate substantial differences in the binding strength of BPPS to metallic (NiAl) versus dielectric (alumina) surfaces. From atomically resolved images, we obtain possible BPPS adsorption geometries on the oxide, in which the sulfur centers and not the phenyl rings of the molecule govern the interaction. A local hexagonal ordering of BPPS, as deduced from pair correlation functions, suggests a preferential binding of the BPPS sulfur atoms to Al ions with distorted pyramidal coordination in the oxide surface. Our work provides insight into rarely explored binding schemes of organic molecules on wide-gap oxide materials.
