A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

In this review we report on some methods for characterizing the metallic component in
heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysts, and metals like nickel, palladium, platinum …

The selective hydrogenation of acetylene has been studied over AgPd and CuPd catalysts.
Controlled surface reactions were used to synthesize these bimetallic nanoparticles on both …

A series of Cu/Zn/Al/Zr hydrotalcite-like precursors with Zr4+:(Al3++ Zr4+) from 0 to 0.7 were
synthesized by a co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric …

We examined the formation mechanism of active sites on Cu/ZrO2 specific toward CO2-to-
methanol hydrogenation. The active sites on Cu/a-ZrO2 (a-: amorphous) were more suitable …

The performance of supported metal catalysts can depend on many factors, including metal
particle size and dispersion and metal–support interactions, and differentiation of these …

A novel synthesis route based on reverse co-precipitation under ultrasound irradiation has
led to Cu–ZnO/ZrO2 catalysts (Znat/Cuat, 0–3; ZrO2, 42–44 wt%) with a remarkable …

Cu/SiO2 catalysts prepared by the ammonia-evaporation (AE) method have been
systematically characterized focusing on the effect of the AE temperature during catalyst …

The measurement of copper metal surface areas by monitoring nitrous oxide chemisorption
is a well established technique. A frontal chromatographic version of this technique has …

The steam reforming of methanol to form mixtures of carbon dioxide and hydrogen, together
with traces of carbon monoxide, is considered to be a potential source of hydrogen as the …
