Journal ArticleDOI
Interface-Confined Ferrous Centers for Catalytic Oxidation
Qiang Fu,Wei-Xue Li,Yunxi Yao,Hongyang Liu,Hai-Yan Su,Ding Ma,Xiang-Kui Gu,Limin Chen,Zhen Wang,Hui Zhang,Bing Wang,Xinhe Bao +11 more
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
Yunxi Yao,Qiang Fu,Yu-Yang Zhang,Xuefei Weng,Huan Li,Mingshu Chen,Li Jin,Aiyi Dong,Rentao Mu,Peng Jiang,Li Liu,Hendrik Bluhm,Zhi Liu,Shengbai Zhang,Xinhe Bao +14 more
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

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).
