Infrared absorption spectroscopy has proven to be one of the most powerful spectroscopic
techniques available for the characterization of catalytic systems. Although the history of IR …

Currently, energy demand is growing swiftly with global economic growth. The combustion
of fossil fuels is one of the major environmental threats due to the release of CO 2 into the …

Reducible oxides have been shown to greatly improve the activity of water gas shift (WGS)
catalysts. The precise mechanism for this effect is a matter of intense debate, but the …

The oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane over supported vanadia catalysts is an
attractive route toward propene (propylene) with the potential of industrial application and …

In situ and operando spectroscopic techniques are crucial for our understanding of complex
heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. Under actual reaction conditions, however, many …

Exclusive Pt species supported on inert substrates have not achieved satisfactory
performance for cryogenic CO oxidation because of the constraint of the competitive …

For almost as long as catalysts have been part of industrial chemical processes, there has
been a parallel effort to understand how catalysis works at a molecular level. Pioneers such …
