TL;DR: In this article, the surface chemical properties of hydrogen and nitrogen-treated samples of an activated carbon were quantified using several complementary techniques, including point of zero charge measurements, and showed that only H2 treatments at high temperature (>1073 K) create basic (hydrophobic) surfaces which are stable after prolonged air exposure.

TL;DR: The metal-support interaction between iron and titania, which is initiated by reduction at 800 K and is responsible for the changes in ammonia synthesis kinetics, is due to titanium species at the surface of the metallic iron particles as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of producing catalytic materials which comprises passing an aerosol comprising a mixture of metal powder and support through a plasma torch was described, which was used to produce catalytic material.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for producing metallic nanoparticles is described. But the method is based on generating an aerosol of solid metallic microparticles, generating non-oxidizing plasma with a plasma hot zone at a temperature sufficiently high to vaporize the microparticle into metal vapor, and directing the aerosol into the hot zone of the plasma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the differences in O2 adsorption and desorption behavior of hydrogen and activated carbons were analyzed and further insight into important aspects of the chemical surface properties of activated carbon was provided.
