Infrared spectroscopy has become a useful tool to investigate surfaces. The theoretical and
experimental foundation of surface IR spectroscopy is described and selected examples are …

Palladium–silver-based alloy catalysts have a great potential for CO-free hydrogen
production from formic acid for fuel cell applications. However, the structural factors affecting …

In this report, we review the interaction of formic acid (HCOOH) with transition metal
surfaces, as studied with the tools of modern surface science in an ultrahigh vacuum …

We present a comprehensive mean-field microkinetic model for the methanol synthesis and
water-gas-shift (WGS) reactions that includes novel reaction intermediates, such as formic …

The electrochemical conversion of CO2 and H2O into syngas using renewably generated
electricity is an attractive approach to simultaneously achieve chemical fixation of CO2 and …

Periodic, self-consistent density functional theory (DFT-GGA) calculations are used to
investigate the water gas shift reaction (WGSR) mechanism on Cu (111). The …

The surface chemistry of oxide surfaces has been receiving greater fundamental interest in
recent years because of the expanding technological applications of oxide materials (eg …

We present a first-principles, self-consistent periodic density functional theory (PW91-GGA)
study of formic acid (HCOOH) decomposition on model (111) and (100) facets of eight fcc …

Formic acid is a potential hydrogen storage molecule which dehydrogenates to form CO2
and H2 on metal surfaces. However, it can also decompose via a competing dehydration …

We have carried out a project to clarify the active site and the role of ZnO in Cu/ZnO-based
catalysts for methanol synthesis from CO2 and H2 using both classical catalytic and surface …
