The reduced availability of propylene and C4 products from steam crackers continues to
provoke on-purpose technologies for light olefins such that almost 30% of propylene in 2025 …

Selective hydrogenation has a long history of being an important reaction process for the
preparation of high-value chemicals. The geometric and electronic structures of the catalysts …

The effects of the metal particle size and shape (eg cubic, spherical, tetrahedral or
octahedral) on catalytic activity, selectivity and stability were elucidated in selective …

CH4 is the main component of natural gas; there is a need for heterogeneous catalysts that
can directly convert it into useful substances. On active metal surfaces, eg, Pt surfaces, CH4 …

Catalytic hydrogenation is an important process used for the production of everything from
foods to fuels. Current heterogeneous implementations of this process utilize metals as the …

Supported sub-nano Ni clusters are of great significance to many heterogeneous catalysis
applications. We conducted density functional theory based particle swarm optimization …

The liquid-phase hydroalkylation of m-cresol catalyzed by zeolite catalysts doped with noble
metals was investigated at 473 K and 5200 kPa of H 2. Metals (Pt and Pd) were incorporated …

The temperature-dependent adsorption as well as the possible activation and
dehydrogenation of methane mediated by small free palladium Pd x+(x= 2–4) and palladium …

This work is focused on better understanding of the origin of CO 2/CO selectivity of methanol
steam reforming (MSR) catalyzed by three isostructural (L1 0-type) intermetallic compounds …

Tailoring the shape of nanoscale materials enables obtaining morphology-controlled
surfaces exhibiting specific interactions with reactants during catalytic reactions. The …
