Water is perhaps the most important and most pervasive chemical on our planet. The
influence of water permeates virtually all areas of biochemical, chemical and physical …

Solvents not only disperse reactants to enhance mass transport in catalytic reactions but
also alter the reaction kinetically. Here, we show that the rate of benzaldehyde …

Carbon-supported palladium catalysts are widely used for hydrogenation of various organic
compounds in the fine chemical industry. The nanoscale geometry and electronic structure …

Catalytic hydrogenation of furfural under hydrothermal conditions is of great importance and
has recently attracted huge attention as an approach to obtaining a wide range of valuable …

High electric fields promote ionization of water, yet relatively little is known about this topic
due to the difficulty of generating such fields. The high field capability of field emitter tips …

First principle quantum chemical methods and atomistic simulations are used to probe active
sites, ensembles, and reaction environments and assist in their design for metal catalyzed …

Hydrogen species on oxides are widely involved in oxides-catalyzed reactions such as H
2/hydrocarbon oxidation, hydrogenation/dehydrogenation, water-gas shift, and water …

Molybdenum (VI) oxide (MoO3) is used in a number of technical processes such as gas
filtration and heterogeneous catalysis. In these applications, the adsorption and dissociation …

The effect of the support nature (different carbons, aluminum oxide, mixed MgAl oxide) on
the activity of palladium catalysts and on the reaction routes of aqueous-phase …

Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study the electrolyte solution effects on the
oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Pt (111). To model the acid electrolyte, an H5O2+ …
