CO oxidation, although seemingly a simple chemical reaction, provides us with a panacea
that reveals the richness and beauty of heterogeneous catalysis. The Fritz Haber Institute is …

Ultrathin oxide films on metals offer new opportunities for the design of supported
nanoclusters with potential use in catalysis. This requires a characterization at the atomistic …

2.4. 3.1 Introduction The classical method for modification of zeolites with respect to their
charge-compensating cations was, for a long time, ion exchange in an aqueous medium …

Electron transfer (ET) is a fundamental process in physics, chemistry, and biology. 1 Charge
transfer determines phenomena like oxidation and reduction, bond activation and bond …

We report reversible switching of paramagnetism in a well-defined gold nanoparticle system
consisting of atomically monodisperse nanoparticles containing 25 gold atoms protected by …

The CO oxidation behaviors on single Au atom embedded in two-dimensional h-BN
monolayer are investigated on the basis of first-principles calculations, quantum Born …

The arrangement of single gold and palladium atoms deposited on the surface of a 3
monolayer thin film of MgO was investigated using low-temperature scanning tunneling …

The paper discusses the hierarchy of model studies with increasing complexity towards an
understanding of industrial catalysts under reaction conditions. We use three case studies to …

The preparation of thin oxide films on metal supports is a versatile approach to explore the
properties of oxide materials that are otherwise inaccessible to most surface science …

Radicals are chemical species containing one or more unpaired electrons which generally
react via electron pairing or electron transfer mechanisms. A charged radical is called a …
