Platinum and palladium are frequently used as catalytic materials, for example for the
oxidation of CO. This is one of the most widely studied reactions in the field of surface …

Heterogeneous catalysis is a chemical process performed at a solid–gas or solid–liquid
interface. Direct participation of catalyst atoms in this chemical process determines the …

The (111) surface of copper (Cu), its most compact and lowest energy surface, became
unstable when exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) gas. Scanning tunneling microscopy …

Through an interplay between scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and density
functional theory calculations, we determine unambiguously the active surface site …

From an interplay between high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and
density functional theory (DFT) we discuss the origin of various point defects on reduced …

Defects such as oxygen vacancies play a crucial role in the surface properties of transition
metal oxides. By means of time-resolved, high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy …

On-surface C–C coupling reactions of molecular precursors with alkynyl functional groups
demonstrate great potential for the controllable fabrication of low-dimensional carbon …

Chemistry of a catalyst surface during catalysis is crucial for a fundamental understanding of
mechanism of a catalytic reaction performed on the catalyst in the gas or liquid phase. Due …

In this topical review we catagorise all ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
publications that have appeared between the 1970s and the end of 2018 according to their …

Gas and liquid phase chemical reactions cover a broad range of research areas in materials
science and engineering, including the synthesis of nanomaterials and application of …
