Understanding the reaction mechanisms of CO2 and CO methanation processes is critical
towards the successful development of heterogeneous catalysts with better activity …

Ruthenium is a chemical element that can easily adopt various formal oxidation states from−
II to+ VIII in chemical bonds,(1, 2) thus giving rise to many compounds with interesting and …

Due to the depletion of petroleum and the recent shale gas revolution, the drop** of the
price for light alkanes makes alkanes an attractive feedstock for the production of light …

Synthesizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a narrow chirality distribution
is essential for obtaining pure chirality materials through postgrowth sorting techniques …

Microkinetic modeling is employed to predict catalytic turnover rates, product distributions,
preferred mechanistic pathways, and rate-and selectivity-controlling elementary reaction …

Dissociation of CO on a Co (0001) surface is explored in the context of Fischer–Tropsch
synthesis on cobalt catalysts. Experiments show that CO dissociation can occur on defect …

The active site of CO dissociation on a cobalt nanoparticle, relevant to the Fischer–Tropsch
reaction, can be computed directly using density functional theory. We investigate how the …

Traditional fossil fuels emissions (mainly CO x, SO x, and NO x) have adverse effects on
human health and the atmosphere. As part of the clean use of fossil fuels, substitute natural …

Atomic carbon on Co (0001), deposited by ethylene decomposition, forms islands with a (√
3×√ 3) R30° structure at low C coverage (∼ 0.2 ML), whereas a high C coverage (0.5 ML …

Computational efforts towards a fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanistic
pathways in synthesis gas conversion processes such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are …
