TL;DR: Results reveal the interplay between the intrinsic catalysttic activity and the density of individual types of surface sites on a catalyst nanoparticle in determining their contributions to the catalytic activity.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive experimental and theoretical calculation study of a series of ZnO/Cu nanocrystals inverse catalysts with well-defined Cu structures was conducted to identify the active sites of Cu-ZnO catalysts for water gas shift and CO hydrogenation reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the active structure of various CuO/TiO2 nanocatalysts in CO oxidation and in WGS reaction was found to be the CuO species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal plane of employed Cu2O solid templates determines the compositions and structures of the resulting Ag/Cu2O nanocomposites, and the catalytic performance of Ag/cu2O nano-structures were evaluated in CO oxidation with excess O2.

TL;DR: In this paper, 27 nm-sized cubic Cu2O nanocrystals enclosed with {100} faces and {110} edges are used as a highly selective catalyst for propylene epoxidation with O2, which acquires propylene oxide selectivity of more than 80% at 90 −110°C.
