Gold ([Xe] 4f 14 5d 10 6s 1) is one of the most ancient themes of investigation in science and
arts, and its renaissance now leads to an exponentially increasing number of publications …

Gold has traditionally been regarded as inactive as a catalytic metal. However, the advent of
nanoparticulate gold on high surface area oxide supports has demonstrated its high catalytic …

The understanding of the interaction of sulfur with bimetallic surfaces is a critical issue for
preventing the deactivation of hydrocarbon reforming catalysts and for the design of better …

Synchrotron-based high-resolution photoemission and first-principles density-functional slab
calculations were used to study the interaction of gold with titania and the chemistry of SO2 …

The bonding of sulfur to surfaces of gold is an important subject in several areas of
chemistry, physics, and materials science. Synchrotron-based high-resolution …

The interactions of three sulfur-containing molecules (C4H4S, SO2, CH3SH) with a clean Au
(111) surface have been studied with a combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy …

Density functional theory was employed to study the stabilities and chemical activities of
transition metal carbides. Here we take the well-known Mo carbides and Ti carbides as an …

The adsorption performance of SO 2 on the P‒doped and transition metal (TM)/P‒codoped
graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) systems (TM= Co, Rh, and Ir elements) were studied by DFT …

Gold is often considered the most inert of all metals. In fact, it is a widely held belief instilled
in us from the earliest days in our school chemistry laboratories that gold is amongst the …

The destruction of S-containing molecules is a very important issue in the chemical industry
and the control of environmental pollution. The desulfurization of sulfur dioxide and …
