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 …

Heterogeneous catalysis is a chemical process performed at a solid–gas or solid–liquid
interface. Direct participation of catalyst atoms in this chemical process determines the …

This comprehensive critical review combines, for the first time, recent advances in nanoscale
surface chemistry, surface science, DFT, adsorption calorimetry, and in situ XRD and TEM to …

Nanostructured materials play an important role in today's chemical industry, acting as
catalysts in heterogeneous thermal and electrocatalytic processes for chemical energy …

The geometrical and electronic properties of the active sites on the surface of metal
nanoparticles and their structure evolution and dynamic behavior during catalysis, consitute …

Metal catalysts are of great importance in the modern chemical industry. It is well-known that
the structures of metal catalysts determine their properties. However, recent studies …

It has been for a long time recognized that nanoparticles are of great scientific interest as
they are effectively a bridge between bulk materials and atomic structures. At first, size …

Platinum nanoparticles supported on γ‐alumina are widely used as highly dispersed
heterogeneous catalysts, in particular in the presence of H2. In the present work, an atomic …

The catalytic performance of extended and nanometer-sized surfaces strongly depends on
the amount and the nature of structural defects that they exhibit. However, whereas the effect …

Pt nanoparticles play an essential role in a wide variety of catalytic reactions. The activity of
the particles strongly depends on their three-dimensional (3D) structure and exposed facets …
