Cooperativity and Dynamics Increase the Performance of NiFe Dry Reforming Catalysts
Sung Min Kim,Paula M. Abdala,Tigran Margossian,Davood Hosseini,Lucas Foppa,Andac Armutlulu,Wouter van Beek,Aleix Comas-Vives,Christophe Copéret,Christoph R. Müller +9 more
TL;DR: Owing to the high activity of the material and the absence of any XRD signature of FeO, it is very likely that FeO is formed as small domains of a few atom layer thickness covering a fraction of the surface of the Ni-rich particles, ensuring a close proximity of the carbon removal (FeO) and methane activation (Ni).
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting the Role of Ni/Al2O3 Interfaces in Water-Gas Shift and Dry Reforming of Methane.
Lucas Foppa,Tigran Margossian,Sung Min Kim,Christoph R. Müller,Christophe Copéret,Kim Larmier,Aleix Comas-Vives +6 more
TL;DR: A multiscale (DFT/microkinetic) modeling approach and experiments are used to investigate the reactivity of the Ni/Al2O3 interface toward water-gas shift (WGS) and dry reforming of methane (DRM), two key industrial reactions with common elementary steps and intermediates, but held at significantly different temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic reactivity of Ni, Pd and Pt surfaces in dry reforming and competitive reactions: Insights from first principles calculations and microkinetic modeling simulations
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative mechanistic study of the dry reforming reaction network at 700°C is provided for Ni, Pd and Pt surfaces by using density functional theory (DFT).
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzene partial hydrogenation: advances and perspectives
TL;DR: The goal of this review is to highlight the main findings of the different disciplines involved in understanding the governing principles of this reaction from a sustainable chemistry standpoint, with special emphasis on ruthenium-catalyzed liquid phase batch hydrogenation of benzene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Back-Bonding Explains Step-Edge Reactivity and Particle Size Effect for CO Activation on Ru Nanoparticles
TL;DR: These findings provide a molecular understanding of the reactivity of CO on NPs, which is consistent with the observed particle size effect and rationalizes why CO cleavage is easier on step-edge sites of large NPs compared to small ones irrespective of the site geometry.
