Electrocatalysis underpins the renewable electrochemical conversions for sustainability,
which further replies on metallic nanocrystals as vital electrocatalysts. Intermetallic …

The support plays an important role for supported metal catalysts by positioning itself as a
macromolecular ligand, which conditions the nature of the active site and contributes …

The catalytic subnanometric metal clusters with a few atoms can be regarded as an
intermediate state between single atoms and metal nanoparticles (> 1 nm). Their molecule …

Recently, we found that the atomic ensemble effect is the dominant effect influencing
catalysis on surfaces alloyed with strong-and weak-binding elements, determining the …

It is challenging to establish single metal atoms with a uniform coordination environment at
targeted sites of a zeolite. In this study, single platinum atoms were selectively encaged in …

Heterogeneous catalysis is one promising technology to abate benzene at relatively low
temperatures, but it remains challenging to develop efficient catalysts owing to the difficulties …

Zirconia has advantageous thermal stability and acid–base properties. The acidity character
of ZrO2 can be enhanced through the sulfation process forming sulfated zirconia (ZrO2 …

One of the challenges of high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is the
poisoning of the Pt catalyst with H3PO4. H3PO4 is imbibed into the routinely used …

Interfaces play an important role in heterogeneous catalysis where oxides are typically used
as supports to stabilize catalytically active transition metal particles and to tune their …

Heavy naphtha reforming, a crucial downstream process in oil refineries for improving the
octane number of the gasoline feedstock, requires expensive Pt metal catalysts and it …
