Understanding the structural dynamics/evolution of catalysts and the related surface
chemistry is essential for establishing structure–catalysis relationships, where spectroscopic …

H2 dissociation plays crucial roles in catalytic hydrogenation reactions and hydrogen
storage. Metal-nanoparticle-based heterogeneous catalysts often dissociate H2 via a …

The development of precious-metal-free catalysts to promote the sustainable production of
fuels and chemicals from biomass remains an important and challenging target. Here, we …

Supported oxides are widely used in many important catalytic reactions, in which the
interaction between the oxide catalyst and oxide support is critical but still remains elusive …

A detailed critical analysis of the scientific literature data concerning catalysts for CO2
methanation based on nickel supported over oxides was performed. According to the …

The catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 to methanol depends significantly on the structures of
metal-oxide interfaces. We show that doping a high-valency metal, viz. tungsten, to CeO 2 …

The limited surface coverage and activity of active hydrides on oxide surfaces pose
challenges for efficient hydrogenation reactions. Herein, we quantitatively distinguish the …

Nickel-CeO2-based materials are commonly used for the thermal catalytic hydrogenation of
CO2. However, high Ni loadings and low CO selectivity restrict their use in the reverse water …

The addition of platinum-group metals (PGMs, eg, Pt) to CeO2 is used in heterogeneous
catalysis to promote the rate of redox surface reactions. Well-defined model system studies …

The high activity and selectivity of ceria in selective hydrogenation of alkynes have attracted
much attention. However, the high operating temperature and the high H2/alkyne ratios …
