In this section, we discuss the following:• Bond formation, relaxation, and the associated
energetics, entrapment, localization, and polarization of electrons mediate the performance …

Supported gold nanoparticles have recently been shown to possess intriguing catalytic
activity for hydrogenation reactions, particularly for selective hydrogenation reactions …

Lignocellulosic biomass such as canola straw is produced as low-value residue from the
canola processing industry. Its high cellulose and hemicellulose content makes it a suitable …

The rich literature about the intermetallic compound ZnPd as well as several ZnPd near-
surface intermetallic phases is reviewed. ZnPd is frequently observed in different catalytic …

Abstract Silica-supported Pd and PdZn nanoparticles of a similar size were evaluated for
neopentane hydrogenolysis/isomerization and propane hydrogenolysis/dehydrogenation …

We have investigated the gas-phase (P= 1 atm; T= 373 K) hydrogenation of (tertiary alkynol)
2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) and (secondary) 3-butyn-2-ol (BY) over a series of carbon (C) …

The CO2 selectivity in methanol steam reforming was investigated for a “multilayer” PdZn 1:
1 surface alloy (thickness of∼ 1.3 nm) and for a subsurface-Zn diluted “monolayer” Pd–Zn …

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of bagasse was performed in the presence of
unpromoted and zinc promoted Ru/γ-Al 2 O 3 nanocatalysts prepared with impregnation and …

The effect of PdZn particle size on the catalytic activity of Pd/ZnO catalysts for the reverse-
water–gas-shift (RWGS) reaction was studied. The PdZn particle size was varied by …

Combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations with experimental data from
temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and polarization-modulated infrared reflection …
