A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

In recent years, the field of catalysis has experienced an astonishing transformation, driven
in part by more demanding environmental standards and critical societal and industrial …

In this Perspective, we review recent studies of size-selected cluster deposition for catalysis
applications performed at the US DOE National Laboratories, with emphasis on work at …

Propylene oxide (PO) is a versatile chemical, mainly used in the synthesis of polyurethane
plastics. Propylene epoxidation using molecular oxygen could replace the tedious current …

Epoxides are highly useful intermediates in the production of many chemicals,
pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and polymers. In view of the continuing demand for epoxides, it …

The design and development of robust and porous supported catalysts with high activity and
selectivity is extremely significant but very challenging for eco-friendly synthesis of fine …

The direct oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide (PO) using molecular oxygen has many
advantages over existing chlorohydrin and hydroperoxide process, which produce side …

The coalescence of nanoclusters fabricated in the gas phase is a fundamental growth
mechanism determining cluster shapes, sizes, compositions, and structures, with resultant …

Size-selected clusters containing a handful of atoms may possess noble catalytic properties
different from nano-sized or bulk catalysts. Size-and composition-selected clusters can also …

Many natural oxidations are relevant to the origin and running of life but usually proceeded
under mild conditions using molecular oxygen (O2) in the air as the sole oxidant and …
