The use of metal organic frameworks as hard templates for the preparation of
heterogeneous catalysts is thoroughly reviewed. In this critical article, the main factors to …

Heterogeneous catalysts are highly complex materials with respect to both their composition
and structure. The reaction kinetics on their surfaces is known to depend sensitively on …

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 …

The effect of crystallite size on the activity of silica-supported Pt catalysts during CO
oxidation has been investigated by kinetic studies and in situ infrared (IR) and extended X …

Ferric hydroxide supported Pd catalyst prepared by a simple co-precipitation method without
calcinations at elevated temperatures and only reduced at 50° C possessed unexpectedly …

We present a comprehensive investigation of the structural, electronic, and magnetic
properties of Pd N and Rh N clusters with up to N= 13 atoms, based on ab initio density …

We describe a newly developed ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) experiment which combines
molecular beam techniques and in situ surface spectroscopy. It has been specifically …

Nanoscale Co-based carbon materials were prepared by simple thermolysis of a Co-
containing metal–organic framework (MOF), ZIF-67, at different temperatures and their …

A systematic investigation of palladium nanoparticles of up to 55 atoms (1.4 nm) has been
conducted using density functional theory with a plane wave basis set. The stability of these …

We compared the characteristics of dodecanethiolate palladium nanoparticles synthesized
by two different techniques, a one-phase method and a two-phase method. From …
