X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) work on Ce 2 O 3 and CeO 2 oxides has been an
active topic of research over the past four decades or so. Such research aimed to find the …

Over the past several years, cerium oxide and CeO2-containing materials have come under
intense scrutiny as catalysts and as structural and electronic promoters of heterogeneous …

We present X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed
desorption (TPD) results probing the surface chemistry of water on the oxidized and reduced …

The evaluation of the reduction state of CeO2 by XPS is still controversial because of the
presence of more than 10 peaks in the Ce (3d) photoemission spectra due to Ce3+ and …

A CeO2 thin film has been subjected to Ar+ bombardment at 298 K to induce the reduction of
its outmost layers by preferential removal of oxygen. An XPS study of the altered layer at …

Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) Au/CeO2-Co3O4 catalysts were created
via a precursor thermal decomposition-assisted colloidal crystal templating method. The …

With the objective to develop applicable catalysts for methanol steam reforming (MSR) to
generate H 2, five individual REOs were prepared as supports for Cu/CuO to understand the …

Alloys used in the aeronautical industry, mainly of the series 7xxx and 2xxx, are liable to
suffer several types of corrosion attack due to the fact that they are exposed to humid …

1.1 Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis.–Franz Fischer, head of the Max-Planck Institut fur
Kohlenforschung in Mulheim (Germany) and Hans Tropsch, a co-worker of Fischer and …

The Ni monometallic catalyst usually exhibits poor CO2 methanation activity, although its
low cost is beneficial for conducting large-scale application in industries. Herein, the …
