TL;DR: Cheng et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the minimum loading of platinum for optimal performance in the hydroconversion of n-alkanes for industrially relevant bifunctional catalysts could be reduced by a factor of 10 or more through rational arranging of functional sites at the nanoscale.

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of zeolite-based bifunctional catalysts with low noble metal loadings while maintaining optimal performance has been studied, and the authors have deposited 0.03 to 1.0 wt % Pt on H-USY.

TL;DR: Pickering emulsions-emulsions stabilized by solid particles-are used as easy-to-prepare and bioinspired, compartmentalized reaction media for tandem catalysis and give the desired product in high yield, as a result of an increased interfacial area and suppressed mutual destruction of the acid and base catalysts.

TL;DR: In this paper , a study of metal particle size effects on catalytic stability, activity and selectivity, using nickel on graphitic carbon catalysts, was presented, showing that increasing the Ni particle size from 4 to 8 nm led to a higher catalytic activity, both per gram of nickel and normalized surface area.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors demonstrate that the introduction of oxygen- or nitrogen-containing surface groups on a graphite nanoplatelet support influences the performance of nickel supported catalysts during CO2 hydrogenation.
