This review covers the structure of, and chemical reactions on, well-defined cerium oxide
surfaces. Ceria, or mixed oxides containing ceria, are critical components in automotive …

The development of surface science of solid metal surfaces during the last 50 years has
been intimately connected with heterogeneous catalysis and culminated in the Nobel prize …

Electronic interactions between metal nanoparticles and oxide supports control the
functionality of nanomaterials, for example, the stability, the activity and the selectivity of …

Interactions of metal particles with oxide supports can radically enhance the performance of
supported catalysts. At the microscopic level, the details of such metal–oxide interactions …

The interaction of atomic hydrogen and H2O with stoichiometric and partially reduced CeO2
(111) thin films deposited on a Cu (111) substrate was investigated by temperature …

We have investigated the stability and the reactivity of atomically dispersed Pt, Pd, and Ni
species on nanostructured CeO2 films by means of synchrotron radiation photoelectron …

Near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to study the
interaction of ethanol (CH 3 CH 2 OH) with a well-ordered CeO 2 (1 1 1) film on Cu (1 1 1) …

Complete dehydrogenation of methane is studied on model Pt catalysts by means of state‐of‐
the‐art DFT methods and by a combination of supersonic molecular beams with high …

We have studied the interaction of water with stoichiometric CeO2 (111)/Cu (111), partially
reduced CeO2–x/Cu (111), and Pt/CeO2/Cu (111) model catalysts by means of synchrotron …

The activation of CO2 on ceria-based catalysts opens chemical routes to the use of CO2 as
an oxidizing agent. Toward a better understanding of the underlying surface reactions, we …
