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 …

Inverse oxide/metal catalysts have shown to be excellent systems for studying the role of the
oxide and oxide–metal interface in catalytic reactions. These systems can have special …

Cerium oxide is a very interesting material that finds applications in many different fields,
such as catalysis, energy conversion, and biomedicine. An interesting approach to unravel …

Defects play a dominant role in the rich chemistry and physics of metal oxide surfaces, and
which therefore have a profound influence on the burgeoning range of applications. A well …

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 …

Interest in resolving the mechanisms behind ceria's activity has been intense due to the
numerous industrial applications including those in heterogeneous catalysis. In this work …

The properties of materials can be altered by introducing strain. For instance, the critical
temperature of superconductors has been raised as has the Curie temperature of …

As a key component in many industrial heterogeneous catalysts, the surface structure and
reactivity of ceria, CeO 2, has attracted a lot of attention. In this topical review we discuss …

Surface processes such as metal oxidation and metal oxide growth invariably influence the
physical and chemical properties of materials and determine their interaction with their …

Catalytic mechanisms, and therefore activity, depend on the structure of catalyst surfaces. In
turn, surfaces may reconstruct and/or exhibit local configurations that vary from bulk …
