TL;DR: In this article, a series of Ag alloyed Pd single-atom catalysts, supported on silica gel, were prepared by a simple incipient wetness co-impregnation method and applied to the selective hydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream under conditions close to the front-end employed by industry.

TL;DR: Experimental and computational studies reveal that isolated Ni atoms are intrinsically coke-resistant due to their unique ability to only activate the first C-H bond in CH4, thus avoiding methane deep decomposition into carbon and offers new opportunities to develop large-scale DRM processes using earth abundant catalysts.

TL;DR: It was found that the SMSI between Au and HAP is general and could be extended to other phosphate-supported Au systems such as Au/LaPO4 and may open a new way to design and develop highly stable supported Au catalysts with controllable activity and selectivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the PdZn intermetallic nanostructure with Pd-Zn-Pd ensembles is shown to be both highly active and selective for the semihydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene, which is usually inaccessible due to the sequential hydrogenation to ethane.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the synthesis of Ru SACs from commercial RuO2 powders by physical mixing of sub-micron RuO 2 aggregates with a MgAl1.2Fe0.8O4 spinel.
