Single atom catalysts (SACs) harbor a potential to exceed nanoparticle catalysts in terms of
activity, stability and selectivity in a growing number of chemical reactions. Although their …

In this review, we highlight recent progress (2008–2016) in infrared reflection absorption
spectroscopy (IRRAS) studies on oxide powders achieved by using different types of metal …

We report direct evidence of the rapid self-decomposition of graphitic carbon nitride (g-
C3N4), a popular photo (electro) catalyst, during the gas–solid photocatalytic reaction …

To improve fuel efficiency, advanced combustion engines are being designed to minimize
the amount of heat wasted in the exhaust. Hence, future generations of catalysts must …

Exploring the interaction between two neighbouring monomers has great potential to
significantly raise the performance and deepen the mechanistic understanding of …

Decoupling the electronic and geometric effects has been a long cherished goal for
heterogeneous catalysis due to their tangled relationship. Here, a novel orthogonal …

In this work, we compare the CO oxidation performance of Pt single atom catalysts (SACs)
prepared via two methods:(1) conventional wet chemical synthesis (strong electrostatic …

Oxide-supported noble metal catalysts have been extensively studied for decades for the
water gas shift (WGS) reaction, a catalytic transformation central to a host of large volume …

Understanding the fundamental insights of oxygen activation and reaction at metal–oxide
interfaces is of significant importance yet remains a major challenge due to the difficulty in in …

Platinum catalysts are extensively used in the chemical industry and as electrocatalysts in
fuel cells. Pt is notorious for its sensitivity to poisoning by strong CO adsorption. Here we …
