Building a reliable relationship between the electronic structure of alloyed metallic catalysts
and catalytic performance is important but remains challenging due to the interference from …

A catalyst with high selectivity for acetylene selective hydrogenation is highly desirable, yet
ideal selectivity often comes at the price of activity loss. Here, a carbon confined Cu 15 Pd …

DFT-based reaction profiles and microkinetic simulations were used to describe the catalytic
selective hydrogenation of acetylene on Ni, Ni3In, NiIn, and Ni2In3 model intermetallic …

Electrifying the production of base and fine chemicals calls for the development of
electrocatalytic methodologies for these transformations. We show here that the …

Heterogeneous catalysis plays a pivotal role in the current chemical and energy vectors
production. Notably, to fully utilize the intrinsic activity and selectivity of a catalyst, the …

In this study, the support effects on the Pd-catalyzed semi-hydrogenation of acetylene have
been investigated from the structural and kinetic perspectives. According to the results of …
