In recent years, the field of catalysis has experienced an astonishing transformation, driven
in part by more demanding environmental standards and critical societal and industrial …

Vehicular pollution has become a major problem in urban areas due to the exponential rise
in the number of automobiles. Typical exhaust emissions which include nitrogen oxides (NO …

The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) has been part of diesel exhaust systems since
regulations were introduced to limit the amount of harmful emissions released to the …

A series of Pt/CeO 2 catalysts with different Pt contents were prepared using an incipient
wetness impregnation method and tested for CO oxidation. Kinetic study on the catalysts …

There is a growing demand for new heterogeneous catalysts for cost-effective catalysis.
Currently, the hysteresis phenomenon during low-temperature CO oxidation is an important …

The current state and challenges of advanced experimental and modeling methods for a
better understanding of heterogeneous chemical reactions are discussed using examples …

A comprehensive approach was applied to investigate oscillatory CO oxidation over a Pt/Al
2 O 3-based diesel oxidation catalyst with small Pt particles (about 1.5 nm diameter) in a …

The hysteresis in the CO oxidation profile over Pt/Al2O3 catalysts has been intensively
studied, but its origin is still controversial. In this work, the influence of the Pt particle size and …

Experimental investigations clearly show that the activity of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC,
Pt-γ-Al2O3) is changing during NO oxidation. This can be attributed to the reversible …

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy identified the role of oxidized platinum species in
generating a high-activity state in the oxidation of carbon monoxide over Pt/Al2O3, Pt/TiO2 …
