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 …

CO oxidation, although seemingly a simple chemical reaction, provides us with a panacea
that reveals the richness and beauty of heterogeneous catalysis. The Fritz Haber Institute is …

Heterogeneous chemical reactions at vapor/solid interfaces play an important role in many
processes in the environment and technology. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron …

Progress in science often follows or parallels the development of new techniques. The
optical microscope helped convert medicine and biology from a speculative activity in old …

In this topical review we catagorise all ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
publications that have appeared between the 1970s and the end of 2018 according to their …

The development of surface science of solid metal surfaces during the last 50 years has
been intimately connected with heterogeneous catalysis and culminated in the Nobel prize …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a quantitative, chemically specific technique with
a probing depth of a few angstroms to a few nanometers. It is therefore ideally suited to …

The reactivity of heterogeneous metal catalysts can be a strong function of the coverage of
adsorbates. For example, Pt-catalyzed NO oxidation to NO2 requires high concentrations of …

Well-ordered, thin oxide films have drawn some attention in recent years as suitable oxide
supports for modeling highly dispersed metal catalysts at the atomic scale. It turned out …

ReaxFF force field parameters describing Pt–Pt and Pt–O interactions have been developed
and tested. The Pt–Pt parameters are shown to accurately account for the chemical nature …
