Supported metal nanoparticles are widely used as catalysts in the industrial production of
chemicals, but still suffer from deactivation because of metal leaching and sintering at high …

Solid catalysts usually consist of multicomponents, within which interfacial interactions have
been recognized as a key factor affecting structures and catalytic performance. Metal …

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

Interactions between metal nanoparticles and support materials can strongly influence the
performance of catalysts. In particular, reducible oxidic supports can form suboxides that can …

Dimethyl ether (DME) is receiving great attention as a clean alternative fuel, owing to the
increasing energy demand. Despite tremendous efforts, catalytic synthesis of DME via a …
