Solid catalysts are the workhorses that convert feedstock molecules into fuels, chemicals
and materials. Solid catalysts are highly complex, porous, multi-elemental and often …

This comprehensive critical review combines, for the first time, recent advances in nanoscale
surface chemistry, surface science, DFT, adsorption calorimetry, and in situ XRD and TEM to …

The geometrical and electronic properties of the active sites on the surface of metal
nanoparticles and their structure evolution and dynamic behavior during catalysis, consitute …

Selective production of light olefins remains a great challenge in cobalt-catalyzed Fischer–
Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Understanding the nature of the active site and the structure …

Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed
on a Co/TiO2 Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalyst at 16 bar for (at least) 48 h time-on …

Electrocatalytically generating synthesis gas (syngas, CO+ H 2) from aqueous CO 2 requires
balancing the relative rates of CO and H 2 generation such that the needed range of desired …

Although we often understand empirically what constitutes an active catalyst, there is still
much to be understood fundamentally about how catalytic performance is influenced by …

Heterogeneous catalysts are complex materials, often containing multiple atomic species
and phases with various degrees of structural order. The identification of structure …

Abstract Design and synthesis of low-cost catalysts with high activity and stability for
hydrogenation reactions is an important research area of applied catalysis. In this work, we …

For supported metal catalyst systems, the impact on catalysis originates from the interaction
between metal nanoparticles and their support. Metal-support interactions (MSI) can change …
