Supported sub-nano clusters hold great promise as economical and highly active catalysts.
However, they tend to deactivate rapidly by poisoning and sintering, impeding their …

We present a combined experimental/theoretical study of Pt n/SiO2 and Pt n Sn x/SiO2 (n=
4, 7) model catalysts for the endothermic dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, using the …

Using Pt in the form of subnanometer dispersed clusters is a way to save precious metals in
catalysis, but making such clusters stable against sintering is an uphill battle. Sn is a known …

An atomic layer deposition process is used to modify size-selected Pt 7/alumina model
catalysts by Sn addition, both before and after Pt 7 cluster deposition. Surface science …

The goal of this stydy was to explore the potential of the enhanced corrosion resistance of Ti
(N, O) cathodic arc evaporation-coated 304L stainless steel using oxide nano-layers …

Ru is a metal of interest in catalysis. Monodisperse Ru3 clusters as catalytic sites are
relevant for the development of catalysts because clusters use significantly lower amounts of …

Small Ru clusters are efficient catalysts for chemical reactions such as CO hydrogenation. In
this study 3-atom Ru3 clusters were deposited onto radio frequency (RF)-deposited TiO2 …

Metal oxide cluster models of catalyst materials offer a powerful platform for probing the
molecular-scale features and interactions that govern catalysis. This perspective gives an …

This study explores the hydrogen permeation resistance of Al-Si-Mg and Al-Si-Mg-Sr coated
22MnB5 boron steel in hot-press-forming. The Al-Si-Mg coating exhibits structural changes …

Present work describes the evaporation of aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3) in the form of thin films
on glass and silicon substrates at different leaning angles (10− 80°) using Ion-Assisted E …
