Because of its unmatched resource potential, solar energy utilization currently is one of the
hottest research areas. Much effort has been devoted to develo** advanced materials for …

Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) has been the most intensively investigated binary transition metal
oxide in the past four decades as indicated by Figure S1. Furthermore, the annual number of …

Highly dispersed precious metals are critical to many important catalytic reactions and
strongly affect the activity of catalysts. In this work, a simple method to stabilize noble metals …

Herein, we provided a novel copper-based polymer-metal–organic framework (polyCu-
MOF) as an efficient scaffold for loading silver nanoparticles (denoted as polyCu-MOF …

In water-promoted CO oxidation, water was thought not to directly participate in CO2
production. Here we report that via a water-mediated Mars–van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism …

The prevailing view of CO oxidation on gold-titanium oxide (Au/TiO2) catalysts is that the
reaction occurs on metal sites at the Au/TiO2 interface. We observed dual catalytic sites at …

We introduce density functional theory and review recent progress in its application to
transition metal chemistry. Topics covered include local, meta, hybrid, hybrid meta, and …

The strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) has received wide attention in heterogeneous
catalysis for the room-temperature oxidation of formaldehyde. An interaction between Pt …

Au is usually viewed as an inert metal, but surprisingly it has been found that Au
nanoparticles less than 3–5 nm in diameter are catalytically active for several chemical …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has a number of uses in catalysis, photochemistry, and sensing that
are linked to the reducibility of the oxide. Usually, bridging oxygen (Obr) vacancies are …
