Surface reactive oxygen species play a fundamental role in selective oxidation and
combustion reactions catalyzed by metal oxides. Unravelling the nature of these transient …

Methane, discovered in 1766 by Alessandro Volta, is an attractive energy source because of
its high heat of combustion per mole of carbon dioxide. However, methane is the most …

In-depth study of active oxygen species (AOS) is essential to heterogeneous catalytic
oxidation techniques. Herein, a facile strategy of constructing dual-phase MnO x with unique …

Co oxides and oxyhydroxides have been studied extensively in the past as promising
electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in neutral to alkaline media. Earlier …

The activation of molecular oxygen is a fundamental step in almost all catalytic oxidation
reactions. We have studied this topic and the role of surface vacancies for Co3O4 (100) films …

Involvement of suprafacial and intrafacial oxygen species in catalytic combustion of methane
over the (100) faceted cobalt spinel was systematically examined as a function of …

A complete catalytic cycle for methane combustion on the Co3O4 (110) surface was
investigated and compared with that on the Co3O4 (100) surface on the basis of first …

Doping other metals such as Mn, Ni, In, et al. is known as an effective strategy to improve the
environmental catalytic performance of Co 3 O 4. In our works, Mn ions were successfully …

Formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is of vital importance in catalytic oxidation
chemistry. In this paper we have shown that a nonredox system such as amorphous …

Manganese, iron, and cobalt model spinel catalysts were systematically investigated for
understanding the roots of their divergent performance in N2O decomposition. The catalysts …
