Platinum and palladium are frequently used as catalytic materials, for example for the
oxidation of CO. This is one of the most widely studied reactions in the field of surface …

The surface chemistry of late transition metal oxides is scientifically interesting and can play
a central role in commercial applications of heterogeneous catalysis. The late transition …

Alloys of Ag and small amounts of Pd are promising as bifunctional catalysts, potentially
combining the inherent selectivity of the noble Ag with that of the more reactive Pd. Stable …

Most metals are oxidized under ambient conditions, and metal oxides show interesting and
technologically promising properties. This has motivated much recent research on oxide …

The surface oxidation of palladium nanocrystals plays an important role in changing the
active sites and subsequently influencing the catalytic reactivity. Such a microscopy study on …

Oxide formation on palladium surfaces impacts the activity and selectivity of Pd-based
catalysts, which are widely employed under oxygen rich operating conditions. To investigate …

We used density functional theory calculations to examine the initial stages of oxidation of
the Pt (111) surface. Consistent with prior studies, our calculations predict that oxygen atoms …

The pristine transition metals (TMs) offer limited choices for high-performance
heterogeneous catalysts because they are usually restricted in less optimal regions on the …

The adsorption of CO on clean and oxidized Pd (111) surfaces has been investigated using
a combination of high-resolution core level spectroscopy (HRCLS), reflection absorption …

In this paper, I review recent progress in joint theoretical and experimental studies aiming at
atomic structure determination of low-dimensional metal oxides. Low-dimensional systems …
