The quest for an efficient process to convert methane efficiently to fuels and high value-
added chemicals such as olefins and aromatics is motivated by their increasing demands …

A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

Ammonia is regarded as an energy vector for hydrogen storage, transport and utilization,
which links to usage of renewable energies. However, efficient catalysts for ammonia …

The electrochemical conversion of nitrate to ammonia is a way to eliminate nitrate pollutant
in water. Cu-Co synergistic effect was found to produce excellent performance in ammonia …

Size‐dependent lattice expansion of nanoparticles is observed for many ionic compounds,
including metal oxides, while lattice contraction prevails for pure metals. However, the …

Recently, special attention has been paid to the syntheses of micro/nanostructured
crystallites with high‐energy crystal facets, because high‐energy crystal surfaces usually …

Hydrogen spillover is the phenomenon where a hydrogen atom, generated from the
dissociative chemisorption of dihydrogen on the surface of a metal species, migrates from …

Ceria has been very successfully employed in oxidation catalysis, whereas its application in
other reactions has been less intensively investigated. The catalytic activity of ceria can be …

Solid metal oxides for carbon capture exhibit reduced adsorption capacity following high-
temperature exposure, due to surface area reduction by sintering. Furthermore, only low …

Polar surfaces of compound materials have been the subject of intense activity in the past.
Electrostatic arguments, based on a model of rigid charges, predict that they should have an …
