Traditional heterogeneous catalysts with noble metals as active sites only have surface-
active substances involved in the catalytic reactions, which greatly reduces the material …

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 …

Reducibility is an essential characteristic of oxide catalysts in oxidation reactions following
the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism. A typical descriptor of the reducibility of an oxide is the …

As the N N bond in N2 is one of the strongest bonds in chemistry, the fixation of N2 to
ammonia is a kinetically complex and energetically challenging reaction and, up to now, its …

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), as a feasible alternative to replace the
traditional fossil fuel-based energy converter, contribute significantly to the global …

Supported noble metal nanoparticles (including nanoclusters) are widely used in many
industrial catalytic processes. While the finely dispersed nanostructures are highly active …

Graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) exhibits unique properties as a support for single‐atom
heterogeneous catalysts (SAHCs). Understanding how the synthesis method, carrier …

Platinum-based heterogeneous catalysts are critical to many important commercial chemical
processes, but their efficiency is extremely low on a per metal atom basis, because only the …

Catalysis by gold supported on reducible oxides has been extensively studied, yet issues
such as the nature of the catalytic site and the role of the reducible support remain fiercely …

Hydrogen, a renewable and clean energy carrier, is the best alternative to fossil fuels.
Hydrogen evolution from water electrolysis using renewable electrical energy is quite …
