Zeolites are versatile and fascinating materials which are vital for a wide range of industries,
due to their unique structural and chemical properties, which are the basis of applications in …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

This critical review describes the reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts from the point of view
of four simple, but essential for Chemistry, molecules (namely dihydrogen, carbon …

Copper-exchanged, small-pore chabazite (CHA) zeolites were commercialized in 2009 for
the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x compounds with ammonia, as an emissions …

The present work highlights recent advances in elucidating the methane oxidation
mechanism of the inorganic Cu-ZSM-5 biomimic and in identifying the reactive intermediates …

The future of computational heterogeneous catalysis is shaped by machine learning in two
different but equally important areas:(i) development of atomistic potentials that closely …

A full understanding of a catalytic reaction requires a thorough identification of precursor and
intermediate species. In this regard spectroscopies, in general, and infrared (IR) …

We propose theoretically that the reactivity of O2-bound Cu-ZSM-5 toward methane is
enhanced by the presence of one water molecule near a dinuclear copper site inside a 10 …

Conversion of CH4 and CO2 to higher value chemicals will contribute to alleviating green-
house gas emissions and the global fossil fuel shortage. Introducing metals into zeolites is …

Understanding the characteristics of nitric oxide (NO) adsorption on metal-loaded zeolites is
a prerequisite for developing efficient catalysts for NO abatement reactions. In this study, we …
