During the last decades, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has become an
indispensable method for probing the structure and composition of heterogeneous catalysts …

The support plays an important role for supported metal catalysts by positioning itself as a
macromolecular ligand, which conditions the nature of the active site and contributes …

The development of new catalyst materials for energy-efficient chemical synthesis is critical
as over 80% of industrial processes rely on catalysts, with many of the most energy-intensive …

Tracking the structure of heterogeneous catalysts under operando conditions remains a
challenge due to the paucity of experimental techniques that can provide atomic-level …

Two series of Zn-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by ion exchanging two commercial zeolites
with different Si/Al ratios (40 and 15) with increasing Zn loadings. The nature of the Zn sites …

Many methods have been used for evaluating physicochemical properties of nanomaterials
(NMs). Characterization of nanoparticles (NPs) includes the determination not only of size …

The rapid growth of methods emerging in the past decade for synthesis of “designer”
catalysts—ranging from the size and shape-selected nanoparticles to mass-selected …

The mechanisms of aqueous-phase thermal catalytic hydrogenation (TCH) and
electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) of organic molecules over Pt group metals are not as …

This work describes the transformation of Pd species under reaction conditions to control the
reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts, in which the real active sites for hydrogenation differ …

The conversion of biomass to useful chemical products requires precise catalytic properties
to achieve the required activity, selectivity, and durability. Here we show, through optimized …
