Metal particles grown by vapour deposition on clean and well-defined oxide surfaces are
used as model catalysts. These new model catalysts allow, unlike metal single crystals, a …

This review article was constructed around the first Algerian–French congress aimed on
emerging materials which was held at Tamanrasset by the end of February 2003. The aim of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the studies of model catalysts with well-defined
surfaces combining ultrahigh vacuum surface characterization with medium-and high …

Studies dealing with high-pressure catalytic reactions over single-crystal surfaces are
reviewed. The coupling of an apparatus for the measurement of reaction kinetics at elevated …

Conventional supported Pt for industrial catalytic reforming exhibits high conversion, but
suffers low selectivity due to the hydrogenolysis reaction. The development of highly …

Over the past two decades the “pressure and material gaps” separating ultrahigh-vacuum
surface science and technical catalysis has been bridged by coupling an apparatus for the …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the catalysis by supported, unsupported, and
electron-deficient palladium. At lower temperatures, in the presence of hydrogen, the …

The platinum–tin interactions in Pt–Sn/Al2O3 catalysts were followed through several
characterisation methods and modified by using two preparation procedures (1.5 wt% Pt …

Pseudo‐single atom Pt catalysts have achieved an excellent selectivity to branched
paraffins and cycloalkanes in n‐hexane reforming here. Highly dispersed platinum in single …

The effects of microwave irradiation of an alumina-supported 0.2 wt.% platinum catalyst are
studied. In the case of the isomerization of hexanes, the selectivity in isomers is increased …
