Model metal/ceria and ceria/metal catalysts have been shown to be excellent systems for
studying fundamental phenomena linked to the operation of technical catalysts. In the last …

The interaction of hydrogen with reduced ceria (CeO2− x) powders and CeO2− x (111) thin
films was studied using several characterization techniques including TEM, XRD, LEED …

Intensive use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in daily products ineluctably results in their
release into aquatic systems and consequently into drinking water resources. Therefore …

Intensive use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) results in their release into aquatic systems
and consequently into drinking water resources. Therefore, it is important to evaluate how …

Multiply bonded lanthanide oxo groups are rare in coordination compounds and have not
previously been reported for a surface termination of a lanthanide oxide. Here we report the …

Cerium oxide is often applied in today's catalysts due to its remarkable oxygen storage
capacity. The changes in stoichiometry during reaction are linked to structural modifications …

The enhanced rates of reduction and re-oxidation of ceria in the presence of Pd, was
investigated on both bulk ceria as well as ceria deposited over γ-Al 2 O 3. Pd addition and …

In this study, we prepared a Pt/CeO 2/Cu (1 1 1) model catalyst and investigated CO and CO
2 adsorption using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) and temperature …

The first layer of atoms on an oxide catalyst provides the first sites for adsorption of reactants
and the last sites before products or oxygen are desorbed. We employ a unique combination …

A setup for fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with sub-second
time resolution has been developed. This technique allows chemical speciation of low …
