Heterogeneous catalysis is a term normally used to describe a group of catalytic processes,
yet it could equally be employed to describe the catalytic solid itself. A better understanding …

Solid catalysts are the workhorses that convert feedstock molecules into fuels, chemicals
and materials. Solid catalysts are highly complex, porous, multi-elemental and often …

Heterogeneous catalysts often consist of an active metal (oxide) in close contact with a
support material and various promoter elements. Although macroscopic properties, such as …

The importance of catalysts today as workhorses in most modern industrial fields cannot be
downplayed. As a result, rational design and engineering of targeted catalysts have …

This review highlights the importance of developing multi‐scale characterisation techniques
for analysing operating catalysts in their working environment. We emphasise that a …

Understanding the working principles of heterogeneous catalysts represents one of the
great challenges in the field of materials science today. Ex situ bulk and surface science …

Two in situnanoreactors' for high-resolution imaging of catalysts have been designed and
applied at the hard X-ray nanoprobe endstation at beamline P06 of the PETRA III …

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) that can achieve maximum atom utilization and provide well-
defined active sites in energy conversion reactions have attracted much attention in the past …

Catalytic solids in the spotlight: Detailed insight into the working principles of heterogeneous
catalysts is essential for the design of improved or totally new ones. Such insight can be …

Most industrial catalysts are complex materials that usually operate at elevated pressures
and temperatures. Pressure, materials, instrument, and complexity gaps are obstacles …
