Understanding Ostwald ripening and disintegration of supported metal particles under
operating conditions has been of central importance in the study of sintering and dispersion …

Work function is a fundamental property of a material's surface. It is playing an ever more
important role in engineering new energy materials and efficient energy devices, especially …

Among fundamental diatomic molecules, the adsorption of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric
oxide (NO) on metal surfaces has been a subject of intensive research in the surface …

Nowadays, there is a great interest in the economic success of direct-ethanol fuel cells;
however, our atomistic understanding of the designing of stable and low-cost catalysts for …

Environmental and economic constraints necessitate further improvement of the activity and
selectivity of dispersed Pd, Rh, and Pt metals for use in NO x reduction. We present here a …

Disintegration of supported nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of reactants can lead to
catalyst deactivation or be exploited to redisperse sintered catalysts. To better understand …

Catalyzing carbon–nitrogen (CN) coupling using small abundant nitrogenous molecules is
of growing interest to lessen the environmental impact of the industrial process. High …

Nickel nanoclusters are very promising for catalysis-related applications, especially
involving chemical reactions with polluting molecules, such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur …

Pt has been economically favored over Rh and Pd. However, Pt-based three-way catalysts
(TWCs) have been studied less than Pd-and Rh-based TWCs; therefore, their properties …

Energetic materials (EMs) and metals are the important components of solid propellants,
and a strong catalysis of metals on EMs could further enhance the combustion performance …
