Supported gold nanoparticles have recently been shown to possess intriguing catalytic
activity for hydrogenation reactions, particularly for selective hydrogenation reactions …

Periodic, self-consistent DFT-GGA (PW91) calculations are used to study the interaction of
hydrogen with different facets of seventeen transition metals—the (100) and (111) facets of …

The dissociative chemisorption of hydrogen at metal surfaces is the first step in the surface
chemistry of heterogeneous catalysis. Up to now, most of our understanding of this process …

The adsorption properties of a variety of atoms (H, O, N, S, and C), molecules (N2, HCN, CO,
NO, and NH3) and molecular fragments (CN, NH2, NH, CH3, CH2, CH, HNO, NOH, and OH) …

Using a variety of dedicated surface sensitive techniques, we studied the interaction of
hydrogen with bare and adsorbate modified RuO2 (110) surfaces on the atomic scale …

An understanding of hydrogen diffusion on metal surfaces is important not only for its role in
heterogeneous catalysis and hydrogen fuel cell technology but also because it provides …

Isotope effects greatly enhance our understanding of chemical reactions in heterogeneous
catalysis. Despite their widespread use, there is limited understanding about how realistic …

We have studied the mechanism of the partial dissociation of water on Ru (0001) by high
resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The thermal evolution of water at …

The kinetics and the electrochemical promotion of the hydrogenation of CO 2 on
polycrystalline Ru deposited on BZY (BaZr 0.85 Y 0.15 O 3− α+ 1 wt% NiO), a proton …

Well-ordered, ultrathin silica films grown on metal substrates are composed of layers of
corner-sharing [SiO4] tetrahedra (silicatene). Yet unrealized in practice as unsupported …
