Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising energy conversion devices for the effective and
convenient utilization of hydrocarbons (for example, methane) to electricity. However, the …

This study delves into the promotional effect of cobalt on supported nickel catalysts during
oxygen-assisted dry reforming of methane. A comprehensive reaction mechanism for …

The first (oxidative) dehydrogenation step of light alkanes (ethane, propane, and n-butane)
on transition-metal (closed-packed and stepped) surfaces is analyzed using density …

Although ZrB12 is a promising advanced material because of the boron cuboctahedron
cages, the hardness of ZrB12 remains controversy. Here, we apply first‐principles …

The chemisorbed oxygen usually promotes the C H bond activation over less active metals
like IB group metals but has no effect or even an inhibition effect over more active metals like …

The study of transition metal catalysts to catalyze CH 4* combustion has become particularly
important. To reveal the catalytic combustion mechanism of CH 4* on the non-noble metal …

High-precision thermodynamic data were derived for single-layer graphene growth on Cu by
measuring an increase or decrease in graphene flake size during chemical vapor deposition …

The periodic four-layered model of the pure Cu (111) surface has been considered, and the
effect of doping with palladium on CH4 dissociation has been investigated. The most stable …

Alloying Cu catalyst with transition metals with high C solubility is an effective technique for
growing graphene with a precisely controlled number of layers. Co is a transition metal with …

Because of their extensive use as chemical building blocks, light olefins, such as propylene
and ethylene, are among the essential types of compounds in the chemical industry. As a …
