Although X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was conceived in the early 20th century, it
took 60 years after the advent of synchrotrons for researchers to exploit its tremendous …

Conspectus A rational design of catalysts requires a knowledge of the active species and
sites. Often, catalyst surfaces are dominated by spectators, which do not participate in the …

Supported nanoclusters (SNCs) with distinct geometric and electronic structures have
garnered significant attention in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. However, their directed …

The long debated reaction mechanisms of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric
oxide with ammonia (NH3) on vanadium‐based catalysts rely on the involvement of …

The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane over supported vanadia catalysts is an
attractive route toward propene (propylene) with the potential of industrial application and …

In situ and operando spectroscopic techniques are crucial for our understanding of complex
heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. Under actual reaction conditions, however, many …

Environmental benign non-noble NiCu catalysts with well-distributed homogeneous
nanoalloy structure was fabricated from layered double hydroxide for semi-hydrogenation of …

We report an in situ, temperature and H2 pressure-dependent, characterization of (2.6±0.4)
nm palladium nanoparticles supported on active carbon during the process of hydride phase …

The selective oxidation of propylene to acrolein is an important reaction in the chemical
industry which has been extensively studied over the last few decades. Today …

This paper discusses procedures and conditions that need to be fulfilled to be able to carry
out appropriate in situ and operando diffuse reflectance FT-IR (DRIFTS) analyses. Spectrum …
