Supported metal nanoparticles are the most widely investigated heterogeneous catalysts in
catalysis community. The size of metal nanostructures is an important parameter in …

Single atom catalysis (SAC) is a recent discipline of heterogeneous catalysis for which a
single atom on a surface is able to carry out various catalytic reactions. A kind of revolution …

Hydrogen, a renewable and outstanding energy carrier with zero carbon dioxide emission,
is regarded as the best alternative to fossil fuels. The most preferred route to large-scale …

Isolated transition metal clusters have been established as useful models for extended metal
surfaces or deposited metal particles, to improve the understanding of their surface …

Since the advent of intense cluster sources, physical and chemical properties of isolated
metal clusters are an active field of research. In particular, gas phase metal clusters …

Recent progress in the gas‐phase activation of methane is discussed. We demonstrate that
cluster size, charge state, and ligands crucially affect both the reactivity and selectivity of …

Cryogenic ion trap vibrational spectroscopy paired with quantum chemistry currently
represents the most generally applicable approach for the structural investigation of …

Identification and mechanistic study of thermal methane conversion mediated by gas‐phase
species is important for finding potentially useful routes for direct methane transformation …

This review provides an overview and an update on how single-atom catalysis can be
achieved at a strictly molecular level by performing well-designed gas-phase experiments …

Model Pt n/glassy carbon electrodes (Pt n/GCE) were prepared by deposition of mass-
selected Pt n+(n≤ 11) on GCE substrates in ultrahigh vacuum. Electrocatalysis under …
