In this review, we highlight recent progress (2008–2016) in infrared reflection absorption
spectroscopy (IRRAS) studies on oxide powders achieved by using different types of metal …

Conspectus Cerium is the most abundant rare earth element in the Earth's crust. Its most
stable oxide, cerium dioxide (CeO2, ceria), is increasingly utilized in the field of catalysis. It …

We report on the activation of CO2 on Ni single-atom catalysts. These catalysts were
synthesized using a solid solution approach by controlled substitution of 1–10 atom% of …

Sulfur poisoning is a common problem causing catalyst deactivation during the industrial
catalytic process. However, for selective catalytic reduction of NO x with ammonia (NH3 …

Surface hydroxyl groups are active centers in many catalytic reactions and can play an
important role during catalyst preparation. In this chapter, the application of infrared …

The surface atomic arrangement of metal oxides determines their physical and chemical
properties, and the ability to control and optimize structural parameters is of crucial …

Thermally stable CeO 2 cubes and nanospheres were synthesized and modified by sulfation
treatment. Non-sulfated CeO 2 cubes and nanospheres did not exhibit good catalytic …

Ce 1− x Ti x O 2 mixed oxide catalysts with various Ti/Ce+ Ti ratios were prepared by sol–gel
way and used in catalytic combustion of 1, 2-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB). Characterization by …

VO x/CeO 2 catalysts with various loadings of VO x were prepared by wet impregnation
method and used in catalytic combustion of chlorobenzene (CB). Characterized by XRD …

Ceria has been very successfully employed in oxidation catalysis, whereas its application in
other reactions has been less intensively investigated. The catalytic activity of ceria can be …
