Single-or multi-layer transition metal oxides (TMOs) have a relatively longer history than
other atomically thin materials. TMOs comprise many earth-abundant minerals and have …

In recent years, the field of catalysis has experienced an astonishing transformation, driven
in part by more demanding environmental standards and critical societal and industrial …

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

Reducibility is an essential characteristic of oxide catalysts in oxidation reactions following
the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism. A typical descriptor of the reducibility of an oxide is the …

Heterogeneous supported metal catalysts are critical for a wide range of chemical
conversion technologies. While the fundamental properties of extended metal surfaces are …

The strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) is of great importance for supported catalysts in
heterogeneous catalysis. We report the first example of SMSI between Au nanoparticles …

CO oxidation, although seemingly a simple chemical reaction, provides us with a panacea
that reveals the richness and beauty of heterogeneous catalysis. The Fritz Haber Institute is …

Catalysis and electrocatalysis by noble metal (NM) nanomaterials is typically surface and
interface-sensitive. Effective surface and interface control over NM nanomaterials provides …

Model systems are very important to identify the working principles of real catalysts, and to
develop concepts that can be used in the design of new catalytic materials. In this review we …

The strong metal–support interaction (SMSI), which affects the catalytic performance of
supported metal catalysts, plays a central role in the modern chemical industry. However …
