TL;DR: It is found that the CuII moieties responsible for the conversion are formed in the presence of O2 and that high temperature together with prolonged activation time increases the population of such active sites, and there is a linear correlation between the reducibility of the materials and their methanol productivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the recent progress in catalyst design and understanding of the reaction mechanism for the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction and derive proposals for further improvements of the process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the deactivation of methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction using five commercially prepared microporous catalysts, including Mordenite, ZSM-22, SAPO-34 and ZSM5.

TL;DR: In this article, the creation and characterization of Pb-related color centers in diamond upon ion implantation and subsequent thermal annealing was reported. But their optical emission in the photoluminescence (PL) re...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a selection of four examples where operando XANES technique has been able to provide capital information on the structure of the active site in catalysts of industrial relevance: (i) Phillips catalyst for ethylene polymerization reaction, (ii) TS-1 catalyst for selective hydrogenation reactions; (iii) carbon supported Pd nanoparticles for hydrogenation reaction; (iv) Cu-CHA zeolite for NH3-assisted selective reduction of NOx and for partial oxidation of methane to methanol.
