Gaining insight into the mode of operation of heterogeneous catalysts is of great scientific
and economic interest. Raman spectroscopy has proven its potential as a powerful …

Cerium dioxide (CeO2, ceria) is becoming an ubiquitous constituent in catalytic systems for
a variety of applications. 2016 sees the 40th anniversary since ceria was first employed by …

The conversion of CO 2 into high value-added carbon-based compounds through
photocatalytic reduction technology is considered as one of the more promising strategies to …

Engineering the shape and size of catalyst particles and the interface between different
components of heterogeneous catalysts at the nanometer level can radically alter their …

The present work elucidated the size effect of Pt nanoparticles on the activity of Pt/CeO 2
catalysts toward catalytic oxidation of toluene. Size-controllable Pt nanoparticles, ranging …

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis is economically and environmentally
benign synthetic strategies to valorize renewable compounds derived from biomass. Simple …

In water-promoted CO oxidation, water was thought not to directly participate in CO2
production. Here we report that via a water-mediated Mars–van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism …

Cerium oxide is an important material for catalytic and fuel cell applications. We present an
ab initio density functional theory (DFT) study of the vibrational properties of ceria focusing …

We have constructed a general thermodynamic model of chemical potentials and applied ab
initio electronic structure and molecular dynamics simulations, as well as kinetic Monte …

This review covers the structure of, and chemical reactions on, well-defined cerium oxide
surfaces. Ceria, or mixed oxides containing ceria, are critical components in automotive …
