It is well known that urbanization and industrialization have resulted in the rapidly increasing
emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are a major contributor to the …

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 …

Co3O4, CeO2 and Co3O4–CeO2 mixed oxides with Co/Ce nominal atomic ratio 0.1: 5,
prepared by co-precipitation method with sodium carbonate, were tested in the oxidation of …

The metal-support interaction of Ir/Ce 0.9 Pr 0.1 O 2 catalyst is tuned by adopting different
preparation techniques of deposition–precipitation (DP), co-precipitation (CP) and …

Conversion of crude pyrolysis bio-oil for H2 production is investigated using a sequential
process which alternates (i) cracking reaction steps, during which the bio-oil is converted to …

The effects of Pt loadings on the catalytic performance of the La 2 O 3-Al 2 O 3-supported Pt
nanoparticles are investigated during the partial oxidation (POM) and steam reforming of …

The effect of ceria and ceria–zirconia modification to alumina on the three-way catalytic
(TWC) performance of alumina supported Pt catalyst was investigated. Sintering of Pt was …

Ceria is important for catalysis due to its ability to form and utilize oxygen vacancies during
redox reactions. Understanding the dynamic formation of the oxygen vacancies has …

Noble metal substituted ionic catalysts were synthesized by solution combustion technique.
The compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray …

Nanostructured La1− xSrxCo1–yFey− 0.03 Pd0. 03O3− δ (LSCF-Pd) perovskites with fixed
