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 …

Heterogeneous chemical reactions at vapor/solid interfaces play an important role in many
processes in the environment and technology. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron …

Because of the ability to directly probe the catalyst under reaction conditions, operando
studies have significantly improved the catalysis literature. The number of operando …

Abstract The “Seven Pillars” of oxidation catalysis proposed by Robert K. Grasselli represent
an early example of phenomenological descriptors in the field of heterogeneous catalysis …

Dehydrogenation or oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of alkanes to produce alkenes
directly from natural gas/shale gas is gaining in importance. Ti3AlC2, a MAX phase, which …

We report results of a comprehensive study on the effect of bulk defects on the catalytic
behavior of Au/TiO 2 catalysts in the CO oxidation reaction, combining quantitative …

The design of heterogeneous selective oxidation catalysts based upon complex metal
oxides is governed at present by a set of empirical rules known as “pillars of oxidation …

A holistic understanding of the key catalytic features of vanadyl (IV) pyrophosphate enabling
high maleic anhydride (MAN) yields in n-butane oxidation has fostered a debate which has …

We report on a combined quantitative charge carrier and catalytic activity analysis of Cu/ZnO
(: Al) model catalysts. The promoting effect of Al3+ on the ZnO support for CO2 activation via …

This article addresses the fundamental question of whether concepts from semiconductor
physics can be applied to describe the working mode of heterogeneous oxidation catalysts …
