TL;DR: Using DFT calculations, a specific structural element is identified, a ceria "nanopocket", which binds Pt(2+) so strongly that it withstands sintering and bulk diffusion and is therefore identified as an anchoring site for Pt-CeO2 nanocomposites showing high Pt efficiency in fuel-cell catalysis.

TL;DR: It is shown by combining photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunnelling microscopy and density functional theory calculations that Pt single atoms on ceria are stabilized by the most ubiquitous defects on solid surfaces—monoatomic step edges.

TL;DR: This work proposes an alternative method for preparing ordered reduced ceria films based on the physical vapor deposition and interfacial reaction of Ce with CeO2 films, which yields bulk-truncated layers of cubic c-Ce2O3 which contain 25% of perfectly ordered vacancies in the surface and subsurface.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pressure of argon as working gas at a constant distance of 5 cm between a PTFE target and a substrate was studied, and it was shown that both the chemistry, and the roughness of the surface changed with the Ar pressure during sputtering.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of single-atom catalysts on nanostructured ceria and their reactivity is discussed in the prospect of their employment as anode catalysts.
