The successful synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals with controlled shapes offers many
opportunities to not only maneuver their physicochemical properties but also optimize their …

The water gas shift reaction (WGSR) is a moderately exothermic reaction between carbon
monoxide and steam to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen. In typical industrial applications …

The present work reports on the investigation of the catalytic performance for the
methanation of CO 2 over Ni catalysts based on CeO 2, and for the first time, of Ni catalysts …

Human beings have been using fossil fuels for their energy needs since long. Reducing
availability of these non-renewable energy sources due to increasing consumption and …

Hydrogen has been widely considered a clean fuel of the future, with the highest mass
based energy density of known fuels. Water gas shift (WGS) and steam reforming (SR) are …

The controllable synthesis of nanostructured CeO2-based materials is an imperative issue
for environment-and energy-related applications. In this review, we present the recent …

Three model ceria catalysts, which are monocrystalline CeO 2 nanocubes, polycrystalline
CeO 2 nanoparticles, and polycrystalline CeO 2 spindles, were synthesized and analyzed …

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the most important chemical processes of various
industries performed on catalyst nanoparticles with different sizes or/and shapes. In the past …

The energies of silver (Ag) atoms in Ag nanoparticles supported on different cerium and
magnesium oxide surfaces, determined from previous calorimetric measurements of metal …

Traditional analysis of reactions catalyzed by supported metals involves the structure of the
metallic particles. However, we report here that for the class of nanostructured gold–or …
