This critical review describes the reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts from the point of view
of four simple, but essential for Chemistry, molecules (namely dihydrogen, carbon …

Nickel is an effective component for the steam reforming of methane in terms of the catalytic
activity and the catalyst cost. When Ni catalysts are applied to dry reforming, oxidative …

The occurrence of high concentrations of nitrate in various water resources is a significant
environmental and human health threat, demanding effective removal technologies. Single …

The technique of controlling nanoscale features precisely has been exploited to develop
and improve bifunctional catalysts, which are important in the hydroconversion of furfural to …

Five alumina-supported palladium catalysts have been prepared from a range of precursor
compounds [palladium (II) nitrate, palladium (II) chloride, palladium (II) acetylacetonate, and …

Operando characterization of working catalysts, requiring per definitionem the simultaneous
measurement of catalytic performance, is crucial to identify the relevant catalyst structure …

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 …

The dynamical structure of a catalyst determines the availability of active sites on its surface.
However, how nanoparticle (NP) catalysts re-structure under reaction conditions and how …

Materials making use of thin ionic liquid (IL) films as support‐modifying functional layer open
up a variety of new possibilities in heterogeneous catalysis, which range from the tailoring of …

Palladium catalysts supported on nanosized CeO2 supports were synthesized by different
methods. The catalysts showed high low-temperature activity (LTA) in CO oxidation. The …
