Effects of H2O on the activity and deactivation of Pd catalysts used for the oxidation of
unburned CH4 present in the exhaust gas of natural-gas vehicles (NGVs) are reviewed …

Replacing traditional fossil fuels with sustainable and clean energy has been imperative in
order to address the occurrent energy and environmental crises. During this foreseen global …

Mechanistic assessments based on kinetic and isotopic methods combined with density
functional theory are used to probe the diverse pathways by which C–H bonds in CH4 react …

The chemistry of oxide surfaces plays a central role in many current technologies, and
promises to play an ever-increasing role in future technologies. In addition to their …

A two-site mean field extended microkinetic model was developed based on DFT data to
investigate the methane oxidation reaction over PdO (1 0 1) for environmental applications …

Abstract Bimetallic Pd/Pt catalysts have recently attracted considerable attention in
controlling emission control of methane. Here, we show the impact of Pd/Pt ratio (1: 0, 9: 1, 3 …

The surface chemistry of late transition metal oxides is scientifically interesting and can play
a central role in commercial applications of heterogeneous catalysis. The late transition …

Although palladium-based materials are efficient catalysts for methane combustion, H2O-
poisoning remains a significant problem at low operating temperatures (< 450° C). It is a …

The catalytic oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide and water over PdO (101) is
