The current status of knowledge regarding the surfaces of the iron oxides, magnetite (Fe 3 O
4), maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3), haematite (α-Fe 2 O 3), and wüstite (Fe 1− x O) is reviewed. The …

Solid catalysts usually consist of multicomponents, within which interfacial interactions have
been recognized as a key factor affecting structures and catalytic performance. Metal …

Abstract In industrially relevant Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts for methanol synthesis, the strong
metal support interaction between Cu and ZnO is known to play a key role. Here we report a …

Coordinatively unsaturated ferrous (CUF) sites confined in nanosized matrices are active
centers in a wide range of enzyme and homogeneous catalytic reactions. Preparation of the …

CO oxidation, although seemingly a simple chemical reaction, provides us with a panacea
that reveals the richness and beauty of heterogeneous catalysis. The Fritz Haber Institute is …

Heterogeneous supported metal catalysts are critical for a wide range of chemical
conversion technologies. While the fundamental properties of extended metal surfaces are …

Interactions between metals and supports are of fundamental interest in heterogeneous
catalysis. The electronic, geometric and bifunctional effects originating from Strong Metal …

Scaling relationships are theoretical constructs that relate the binding energies of a wide
variety of catalytic intermediates across a range of catalyst surfaces. Such relationships are …
