Heterogeneous bimetallic catalysts have broad applications in industrial processes, but
achieving a fundamental understanding on the nature of the active sites in bimetallic …

Since the discovery of catalysis by Au nanoparticles (NPs), unique catalytic features of Au
have appeared that are greatly different from those of Pd and Pt. In this Review, we aimed to …

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

Metal species with different size (single atoms, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) show
different catalytic behavior for various heterogeneous catalytic reactions. It has been shown …

Propylene oxide is a crucial feedstock in the plastic industry. The direct epoxidation of
propylene using O2 is considered among the most promising means of producing propylene …

This review surveys recent advances in the applications of layered double hydroxides
(LDHs) in heterogeneous catalysis. By virtue of the flexible tunability and uniform distribution …

Ag-Based nanocomposites, including supported Ag nanocomposites and bimetallic Ag
nanocomposites, have been intensively investigated as highly efficient catalysts because of …

Nature takes advantage of the pervasive presence of water to control many enzymatic
reactions by utilizing the unique properties of water, which in turn help regulating reaction …

After the long-held assumption of the unreactivity of gold, numerous reactions catalyzed by
this noble metal have been increasingly emerging in the literature over the past 2 decades …

Gold has been used for coinage, jewelry, and other arts for thousands of years due to its
stability in air. Catalytic researchers were long misled by this common sense until the …
