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 …

Heterogeneous catalysis occurs on the surface of a catalyst particle in a gas or liquid
environment of reactants. The surface of the catalyst particle acts as an active chemical …

The active-site density, intrinsic activity, and durability of Ni-based catalysts are critical to
their application in industrial alkaline water electrolysis. This work develops a kind of …

A multi-layered nanostructured Ni/CeO 2 catalyst was synthesized through a facile one-pot
hydrothermal reaction. The influence of catalyst pre-treatment was investigated as an …

Carbon nitride compounds (CN) complexed with the in-situ-produced Cu (II) on the surface
of CuAlO2 substrate (CN-Cu (II)-CuAlO2) is prepared via a surface growth process for the …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has achieved maturity as an analytical technique in
that it is a ubiquitous tool in the materials community, however as made apparent by recent …

CO2 hydrogenation to methane is gaining increasing interest as one of the most promising
ways to store intermittent renewable energy in the form of chemical fuels. Ni particles …

Producing hydrogen from ethanol steam reforming (ESR) is a carbon-neutral and
environment-friendly method, which has been expected to gradually reduce excessive …

Fundamental understandings of surface chemistry and catalysis of solid catalysts are of
great importance for the developments of efficient catalysts and corresponding catalytic …

In this topical review we catagorise all ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
publications that have appeared between the 1970s and the end of 2018 according to their …
