Supported atomic clusters with uniform metal sites and definite low-nuclearity are
intermediate states between single-atom catalysts (SACs) and nanoparticles in size …

Clusters that contain only a small number of atoms can exhibit unique and often unexpected
properties. The clusters are of particular interest in catalysis because they can act as …

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 …

Soft X‐ray spectroscopy (SXS) techniques such as photoelectron spectroscopy, soft X‐ray
absorption spectroscopy and X‐ray emission spectroscopy are efficient and direct tools to …

X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) is commonly used to probe the oxidation
state of metal-containing nanomaterials; however, as the particle size in the material drops …

Photoelectron spectroscopy is a powerful tool for investigating the electronic structure of

Oxidation of CO over size-selected Ptn clusters (n= 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 18) supported on
alumina thin films grown on Re (0001) was studied using temperature-programmed …

Supported Pd–Re bi-component catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method and
employed in a glycerol hydrogenolysis reaction. The addition of Re into a Pd catalyst …

The oxidation state and stability of Pd nanoparticles supported on well-ordered Co3O4 (111)
films prepared on Ir (100) have been investigated in UHV and under both oxidizing and …

Particle size and shape effects control the oxidation behavior of nanostructured
electrocatalysts. We investigated the oxidation state of Pd nanoparticles supported on Ar+ …
