Different from isolated metal atoms and large metal nanoparticles (NPs), supported metal
clusters (SMCs) possess distinct geometric and electronic structures and thus exhibit …

A coordinatively unsaturated copper–nitrogen architecture in copper metalloenzymes is
essential for its capability to catalyze the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the …

The applicability of Cu/C catalysts is limited by sintering of Cu leading to deactivation in
catalytic reactions. We show that the problem of sintering could be resolved by N-doping of …

This paper deals with CuO/ZrO 2 catalysts with extremely high Cu loading and their catalytic
activity for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol. Because of aiming an industrial application, we …

A series of copper catalysts with loading less than 1.0 wt% supported on super activated
carbon (SAC, 2403 m 2· g− 1) as well as commercial activated carbon (AC, 1297 m 2· g− 1) …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has proved to be one of the most powerful
experimental techniques for the chemical analysis of solid surfaces and nanomaterials. The …

We report a new high vacuum instrument which is dedicated to the preparation of well-
defined clusters supported on model and technologically relevant supports for catalytic and …

We discuss application of the Auger parameter and Wagner plot concepts to the study of
small copper clusters deposited on various supports such as C (graphite), SiO 2 and Al 2 O …

Sulfur was introduced, for the first time, into V–K/γ-Al2O3 catalysts, due to which their
performance in the non-oxidative dehydrogenation (DH) of isobutane was promoted …

Copper (Cu) nanoparticles, widely utilized as catalysts in industrial applications, exhibit
intriguing behavior in structure-sensitive reactions like ethanol dehydrogenation. Contrary to …
