The activation of O2 on metal surfaces is a critical process for heterogeneous catalysis and
materials oxidation. Fundamental studies of well-defined metal surfaces using a variety of …

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 occurs on the surface of a catalyst particle in a gas or liquid
environment of reactants. The surface of the catalyst particle acts as an active chemical …

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 …

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

Photoelectron spectroscopy is an excellent technique to explore chemically complex
systems in catalysis. However, due to a small mean free path of photoelectrons in gas …

The origin of the synergistic catalytic effect between metal catalysts and reducible oxides
has been debated for decades. Clarification of this effect, namely, the strong metal-support …

The influence of different approximations on adsorbate entropies is investigated for density
functional theory based mean-field kinetic modeling. Using CO oxidation over Pt (111) as a …

Chemical interactions which occur at a heterogeneous interface between a gas and
substrate are critical in many technological and natural processes. Ambient pressure X-ray …

Pt nanoparticles (4.8 nm) were anchored onto the surface of mesoporous nickel oxide (NiO)
supports. Pt/NiO samples were compared with pristine NiO and Pt/SBA-15 silica catalysts in …
