TL;DR: In this paper, the interplay between oxygen vacancies and Ag-CeO 2 interaction has been investigated in the context of metal-O 2 catalysts and the shape of the CeO 2 support.

TL;DR: The crystal-plane-controlled selectivity of uniform capping-ligand-free Cu2 O octahedra, cubes, and rhombic dodecahedra in catalyzing propylene oxidation with O2 reveals that crystal-planes engineering of oxide catalysts could be a useful strategy for developing selective catalysts and for gaining fundamental understanding of complex heterogeneous catalytic reactions at the molecular level.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Cu-O bond on Cu(2)O(100) surface has the shortest bond length, shedding light on fundamentally understanding the morphological evolution of natural minerals and providing novel insights into the geomimetic synthesis of inorganic materials in the laboratory.

TL;DR: Novel insights are provided into the PVP-metal nanocrystal interaction, which are of great importance in the fundamental understanding of surface-mediated properties of P VP-capped metal nanocrystals.

TL;DR: It is crucial to explore the restructuring process of catalyst surfaces under reaction conditions to understand catalytic processes at the microscopic level and desirable to tune the catalytic performance of the catalyst nanoparticles by con-trolling the surface restructuring process in reactive atmos-pheres.
