Alkanes are the major constituents of natural gas and crude oil, the feedstocks for the
chemical industry. The efficient and selective activation of C–H bonds can convert abundant …

CO oxidation, although seemingly a simple chemical reaction, provides us with a panacea
that reveals the richness and beauty of heterogeneous catalysis. The Fritz Haber Institute is …

Nanoscience is a cross-sectional interdisciplinary field of research that can hardly be
overestimated in its enabling character for technologies in many application areas. A …

The surface of a highly crystalline MoVTeNb oxide catalyst for selective oxidation of propane
to acrylic acid composed of the M1 phase has been studied by infrared spectroscopy …

In this perspective, we present an overview of the most relevant advances in the selective
oxidation of light paraffins to contribute to the petrochemical decarbonization processes. An …

Low energy ion scattering (LEIS) probes the elemental composition of the outermost atomic
layer of a material and provides static depth profiles of the outer ca. 10 nm of surfaces. Its …

Elemental carbon with sp2 hybridization is omnipresent in our lives, and in its natural form,
graphite, an integral part of pencils, batteries, lubricants, steel, and electric motor brushes …

Ethylene is mainly produced by steam cracking of naphtha or light alkanes in the current
petrochemical industry. However, the high-temperature operation results in high energy …

This review deals with an analysis of the main structural and reactivity properties of mixed
oxide systems containing vanadium oxide as the key component in catalysts for gas-phase …

Aberration‐corrected high‐angle annular dark‐field scanning transmission electron
microscopy (HAADF‐STEM) has been used to image the basal {001} plane of the …
