Borophene (the first two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of boron) is emerging as a
groundbreaking system for boron-based chemistry and, more broadly, the field of low …

In surface science, research traditionally employs macroscopically flat surfaces of single
crystals. Curved surfaces have been applied more sporadically, but their history stretches …

Highly selective liquid-phase hydrogenation of furfural was efficiently catalyzed by PtFe alloy
nanoparticles supported on CeO2. An initial reaction rate at∼ 1500 h–1, a near 100 …

Size-and shape-tailored copper (Cu) nanocrystals can offer vicinal planes for facile carbon
dioxide (CO2) activation. Despite extensive reactivity benchmarks, a correlation between …

This review provides an overview of the synthetic methods used for the preparation of
monometallic Pd and Pt metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on iron oxide and bimetallic …

The classic system that describes weakly activated dissociation in heterogeneous catalysis
has been explained by two dynamical models that are fundamentally at odds. Whereas one …

We investigate the chemical interaction of carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) with kink
atoms on steps of platinum crystal surfaces using a specially designed Pt curved sample …

Electrode degradation under oxidizing conditions is a major drawback for large-scale
applications of platinum electrocatalysts. Subjecting Pt (111) to oxidation–reduction cycles is …

The catalytic oxidation of CO on transition metals, such as Pt, is commonly viewed as a
sharp transition from the CO‐inhibited surface to the active metal, covered with O. However …

A quantitative understanding of the role played by defect sites in heterogeneous catalysis is
of great importance in designing new and more effective catalysts. In this work, we report a …
