Metal-support interactions are frequently invoked to explain the enhanced catalytic activity of metal nanoparticles dispersed over reducible metal-oxide supports, yet the atomic scale mechanisms are rarely known. Here, we use scanning…
Oxidation catalysis on reducible oxide-supported small metal clusters often involves lattice oxygen. In the present work, we trace the path of lattice oxygen from Fe3O4(001) onto small Pt clusters during the CO oxidation, aiming at…
The coarsening of catalytically-active metal clusters is often accelerated by the presence of gases through the formation of mobile intermediates, though the exact mechanism through which this happens is often subject to debate. We use…
Catalysis has entered everyday life through a number of technological processes relying on different catalytic systems. The increasing demand for such systems requires rationalization of the use of their expensive components, like noble…
Using CoOx thin films supported on Au(111) single crystal surfaces as model catalysts for the CO oxidation reaction we show that three reaction regimes exist in response to chemical and topographic restructuring of the CoOx catalyst as a…
We present lattice-gas modeling of the steady-state behavior in CO oxidation on the facets of nanoscale metal clusters, with coupling via inter-facet CO diffusion. The model incorporates the key aspects of reaction process, such as rapid CO…
We use multi-scale modeling to analyze laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements of the CO oxidation reaction over Pd(100) at near-ambient reaction conditions. Integrating density-functional theory based kinetic Monte Carlo simulations…
Understanding the atomic mechanism of low-temperature CO oxidation on a heterogeneous catalyst is challenging. We performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to identify the surface structure and reaction mechanism responsible…
The oxidation of CO on single Pd atoms anchored to MgO(100) surface oxygen vacancies is studied with temperature-programmed-reaction mass-spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. In one-heating-cycle experiments CO$_2$, formed from O$_2$ and…
We employ a multiscale modeling approach to study the surface structure and composition of a Pd(100) model catalyst in reactive environments. Under gas phase conditions representative of technological CO oxidation (~1 atm, 300-600 K) we…
Metal oxides have been extensively investigated and applied in environmental remediation and protection, energy conversion and storage. Most of these diverse applications are results of a large diversity of the electronic states of metal…
Density functional theory based global geometry optimization has been used to demonstrate the crucial influence of the geometry of the catalytic cluster on the energy barriers for the CO oxidation reaction over Pd-based bimetallic…
Single atom catalysts (SACs) based on 2D materials are identified to be efficient in many catalytic reaction. In this work, the catalytic performance of Pd/Pt embedded planar carbon nitride (CN) for CO oxidation, has been investigated via…
Understanding how the local environment of a single-atom catalyst affects stability and reactivity remains a significant challenge. We present an in-depth study of Cu1, Ag1, Au1, Ni1, Pd1, Pt1, Rh1, and Ir1 species on Fe3O4(001); a model…
Determining the local coordination of the active site is a pre-requisite for the reliable modeling of single-atom catalysts (SACs). Obtaining such information is difficult on powder-based systems, so much emphasis is placed on density…
Reducible oxides are widely used catalyst supports that can increase oxidation reaction rates by transferring their lattice oxygen at the metal-support interface. The interfacial oxidation process is typically described in terms of a…
The present density functional theory study addresses the question whether the presence of H2O influences the catalytic activity of small gold clusters, Au1-4/MgO(100), towards the oxidation of carbon monoxide. To this end, we studied the…
The possible importance of oxide formation for the catalytic activity of transition metals in heterogenous oxidation catalysis has evoked a lively discussion over the recent years. On the more noble transition metals (like Pd, Pt or Ag) the…
This work explores the role of oxygen in industrial methane oxidation. Oxygen, a well-known oxidizing agent, drives CH$_4$ conversion to CO$_2$ and H$_2$O. We report how oxygen influences oxidation on single Pd and PdO clusters supported on…
The tetraaza [Co$^\text{II}$N$_4$H]$^{2+}$ complex (\textbf{1}) is remarkable for its ability to selectively reduce CO$_2$ to CO with 45\% Faradaic efficiency and a CO to H$_2$ ratio of 3:2. We employ density functional theory (DFT) to…
