Titanium dioxide (titania, TiO 2) has been fervently researched over the past few decades
due to its potential applications across many different areas. Thanks to its bulk properties …

The utilization of solar irradiation to supply energy or to initiate chemical reactions is already
an established idea. If a wide-band gap semiconductor like titanium dioxide (TiO2) is …

It has been shown that photoexcitation of plasmonic metal nanoparticles (Ag, Au and Cu)
can induce direct photochemical reactions. However, the widespread application of this …

Catalysis by gold has rapidly become a hot topic in chemistry, with a new discovery being
made almost every week. Gold is equally effective as a heterogeneous or a homogeneous …

Developments in water gas shift (WGS) catalysis, especially during the last decade, are
reviewed. Recent developments include the development of chromium‐free catalysts that …

Hydrogen is one of the most common elements in Earth's crust, but it does not occur to a
significant extent in elemental form. It is mostly present in water, biomass, and fossil …

The rapid development in recent years of the proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell
technology has stimulated research in all areas of fuel processor catalysts for hydrogen …

Natural gas is a dominating feedstock for the production of several bulk chemicals such as
ammonia, methanol, and dimethyl ether (DME), and for the increasingly important …

Gold has traditionally been regarded as inactive as a catalytic metal. However, the advent of
nanoparticulate gold on high surface area oxide supports has demonstrated its high catalytic …

The bifunctional role of the noble-metal–oxide interface in activating reactants is important
for efficient heterogeneous catalysis of the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. Herein, we report …
