TL;DR: In this article, isotopic labeling and density functional theory (DFT) were used to determine the mechanism for acetylene hydrogenation and oligomerization on well-defined intermetallic nickel-zinc catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Situ Spectroscopic Characterization of Ni1–xZnx/ZnO Catalysts and Their Selectivity for Acetylene Semihydrogenation in Excess Ethylene
TL;DR: In this article, the structures of ZnO-supported Ni catalysts were explored with in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, temperature-programmed reduction, Xray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning transmission electron microscope (SEM), and electron energy loss spectrum analysis.
