TL;DR: In this paper, a Pt/SiO2 catalyst is used for the selective hydrogenolysis of high-density polyethylene into narrow alkane fractions, which is based on a mesoporous silica shell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic Properties of Bimetallic Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Tailoring the Density of Electronic States through MOF Modularity.
Ekaterina A. Dolgopolova,Amy J. Brandt,Otega A. Ejegbavwo,Audrey S. Duke,Thathsara D. Maddumapatabandi,Randima P. Galhenage,Bryon W. Larson,Obadiah G. Reid,Obadiah G. Reid,Salai Cheettu Ammal,Andreas Heyden,Mvs Chandrashekhar,Vitalie Stavila,Donna A. Chen,Natalia B. Shustova +14 more
TL;DR: These studies unveil the possible pathways for transforming the electronic properties of MOFs from insulating to semiconducting, as well as provide a blueprint for the development of hybrid porous materials with desirable electronic structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the importance of metal–oxide interface sites for the water–gas shift reaction over Pt/CeO2 catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanism of water-gas shift reaction at the three-phase boundary of Pt/CeO2 catalysts using density functional theory and micro-kinetic modeling to better understand the importance of metaloxide interface sites in heterogeneous catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active Sites in Copper-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks: Understanding Substrate Dynamics, Redox Processes, and Valence-Band Structure
Audrey S. Duke,Ekaterina A. Dolgopolova,Randima P. Galhenage,Salai Cheettu Ammal,Andreas Heyden,Mark D. Smith,Donna A. Chen,Natalia B. Shustova +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated approach that combines synthesis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies, and theoretical calculations for the investigation of active unsaturated metal sites (UMS) in copper-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) was developed.
