The Active Site of Methanol Synthesis over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Industrial Catalysts

TL;DR: This work shows how to identify the crucial atomic structure motif for the industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 methanol synthesis catalyst by using a combination of experimental evidence from bulk, surface-sensitive, and imaging methods collected on real high-performance catalytic systems in combination with density functional theory calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nature of the N-Pd interaction in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube catalysts

TL;DR: In this article, the geometric and electronic structure of N species in N-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) is derived by X-ray photoemission (XPS) and absorption spectroscopy (NEXAFS) of the N 1s core excitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

First principles calculations of the structure and V L-edge X-ray absorption spectra of V2O5 using local pair natural orbital coupled cluster theory and spin-orbit coupled configuration interaction approaches.

TL;DR: For the first time excellent agreement between theoretically predicted and experimentally measured vanadium L-edge NEXAFS spectra of V2O5 was achieved, indicating that the covalency of the metal-ligand bonds is correctly described by the calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Situ Study of the Gas-Phase Electrolysis of Water on Platinum by NAP-XPS

TL;DR: Near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to study the surface of a Pt electrode during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), finding a hydrated Pt metal phase with dissolved oxygen in the near-surface region is OER-active and considered to be the precursor of the analytically detected PtO2.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Near ambient pressure XPS study of Au oxidation

TL;DR: In situ observations show that a surface oxide phase is formed during the exposure to ozone; however this phase decomposes under vacuum and even in the presence of ozone at temperatures higher than 300 °C.
