Journal ArticleDOI

Interface-Confined Ferrous Centers for Catalytic Oxidation

TL;DR: The interface confinement effect can be used to stabilize the coordinately unsaturated ferrous sites by taking advantage of strong adhesion between ferrous oxides and metal substrates, and it is shown that the structural ensemble was highly efficient for carbon monoxide oxidation at low temperature under typical operating conditions of a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graphene cover-promoted metal-catalyzed reactions

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that CO adsorption and oxidation can occur on Pt surface covered by monolayer graphene, showing that the space between graphene overlayer and metal surface can act as a two-dimensional (2D) nanoreactor.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Zwicky Transient Facility Bright Transient Survey I: Spectroscopic Classification and the Redshift Completeness of Local Galaxy Catalogs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed an analysis of the redshift completeness of local galaxy catalogs, dubbed as the Redshift Completeness Fraction (RCF; the number of SN host galaxies with known spectroscopic redshift prior to SN discovery divided by the total number of SNe hosts).
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into catalysis by gold nanoparticles and their support effects through surface science studies of model catalysts.

TL;DR: New measurements of adsorption energies by single crystal Adsorption calorimetry, and new analyses of other recent measurements by this technique imply that small nanoparticles of metals like Au bind much more strongly to supports like titania and iron oxide which are generally observed to be effective in making Au nanoparticles active in catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly active Pt–Fe bicomponent catalysts for CO oxidation in the presence and absence of H2

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface Fe ensembles, surface alloyed Fe atoms, and subsurface Fe species have been identified at Pt surfaces on the basis of studies in Fe-Pt(111) model systems and supported Pt-Fe nanoparticles (NPs).
