Alloying has long been used as a promising methodology to improve the catalytic
performance of metallic materials. In recent years, the field of alloy catalysis has made …

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 …

Pd–Au bimetallic catalysts often display enhanced catalytic activities and selectivities
compared with Pd-alone catalysts. This enhancement is often caused by two alloy effects, ie …

Au–Pd nanostructured materials have been recognized as important heterogeneous
catalysts in various reactions, due to their superior activities caused by the ensemble and …

Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), an important chemical intermediate in industry, is produced
by the well-established commercial process of acetoxylation of ethylene with Pd–Au/SiO2 …

Exceedingly chemoselective preparation of secondary amines from the cascade reaction of
nitro reduction followed by reductive amination of the resulting amine with an aldehyde …

Vinyl acetate (VA) is an important organic chemical material, which is mainly obtained from
ethylene acetoxylation. The raw material, ethylene, usually contains a small amount of …

Using first-principles methods, we investigated the reaction pathways of the formic acid
oxidation on Pd (111) and PdAu (111) surfaces. The dehydrogenation of formic acid can …

Palladium nanoparticles have uniformly been electrodeposited on a Au nanoisland template
(NIT) supported on a Si (100) substrate, which exhibits Au-rich, Pd-rich, and/or …

Despite being considered a mature field, recent developments in experimental and
theoretical techniques have greatly increased the fundamental understanding of complex …
