Whereas noble metal compounds have long been central in catalysis, Earth-abundant metal-
based catalysts have in the same time remained undeveloped. Yet the efficacy of Earth …

Model metal/ceria and ceria/metal catalysts have been shown to be excellent systems for
studying fundamental phenomena linked to the operation of technical catalysts. In the last …

Solid catalysts usually consist of multicomponents, within which interfacial interactions have
been recognized as a key factor affecting structures and catalytic performance. Metal …

Room-temperature molecular oxygen (O2) dissociation is challenging toward chemical
reactions due to its triplet ground-state and spin-forbidden characteristic. Herein, we …

N2 fixation by the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient
conditions is regarded as a potential approach to achieve NH3 production, which still …

Subnanometric Cu clusters that contain only a small number of atoms exhibit unique and,
often, unexpected catalytic behaviors compared with Cu nanoparticles and single atoms …

The transformation of CO2 into alcohols or other hydrocarbon compounds is challenging
because of the difficulties associated with the chemical activation of CO2 by heterogeneous …

Highly selective oxidation of methane to methanol has long been challenging in catalysis.
Here, we reveal key steps for the promotion of this reaction by water when tuning the …

CeO2-supported copper species have been reported as an active catalyst for the
hydrogenation of carbon–oxygen bonds (CO, CO2, furfural, esters, etc.). However, the …

CeO2 has attracted much attention in the field of selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3
(NH3-SCR). However, poor low-temperature activity and a narrow operation window restrict …
