The pseudo-two-dimensional (2D) morphology of plate-like metal nanoparticles makes them
one of the most anisotropic, mechanistically understood, and tunable structures available …

Heterogeneous catalysts play a pivotal role in the chemical industry. The strong metal-
support interaction (SMSI), which affects the catalytic activity, is a phenomenon researched …

Interactions between metals and supports are of fundamental interest in heterogeneous
catalysis. The electronic, geometric and bifunctional effects originating from Strong Metal …

Oxidation catalysis not only plays a crucial role in the current chemical industry for the
production of key intermediates such as alcohols, epoxides, aldehydes, ketones and organic …

Reducible oxide‐supported noble metal nanoparticles exhibit high activity in catalyzing
many important oxidation reactions. However, atom migration under harsh reaction …

A nanoparticle with well‐defined surfaces, prepared through colloidal chemistry, enables it
to be studied as a model heterogeneous catalyst. The colloidal synthetic approach provides …

We report a new method to probe the solid-liquid interface through the use of a thin liquid
layer on a solid surface. An ambient pressure XPS (AP-XPS) endstation that is capable of …

Our aim in this review is to assess key recent findings that point to atomically dispersed
noble metals as catalytic sites on solid supports, which may be viewed as ligands bonded to …

Heterogeneous catalysis occurs on the surface of a catalyst particle in a gas or liquid
environment of reactants. The surface of the catalyst particle acts as an active chemical …
