TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on heterogeneous catalysis is presented, which not only covers the new developments of heterogenous catalysis in environmental sciences but also touches its historical aspects.
Abstract: Abstract Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fastest developing branches of chemistry. Moreover, it is strongly connected to popular environment-related applications. Owing to the very fast changes in this field, for example, numerous discoveries in nanoscience and nanotechnologies, it is believed that an update of the literature on heterogeneous catalysis could be beneficial. This review not only covers the new developments of heterogeneous catalysis in environmental sciences but also touches its historical aspects. A short introduction to the mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis with a small section on advances in this field has also been elaborated. In the first part, recent innovations in the field of catalytic air, water, wastewater and soil treatment are presented, whereas in the second part, innovations in the use of heterogeneous catalysis for obtaining sustainable energy and chemicals are discussed. Catalytic processes are ubiquitous in all branches of chemistry and there are still many unsolved issues concerning them.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the methods to create chiral surfaces and the symmetry properties of chiral surface is presented, and physical methods that have been used to recognize and understand the structure and properties of CHs are discussed in detail.
Abstract: Driven by the demand for heterogeneous asymmetry catalysis, studies of chiral surfaces have become important aspects of modern surface science. With the maturity of surface science techniques, this has enriched the success in the study of low-symmetry chiral surfaces at the molecular level. In this review we summarise the methods to create chiral surfaces and the symmetry properties of chiral surfaces. Physical methods that have been used to recognise and understand the structure and properties of chiral surfaces are discussed in detail.

TL;DR: Stone's first research involved copper and copper oxides and throughout his career he worked with metal oxides as discussed by the authors and he did much to incorporate modern solid-state science into traditional heterogeneous catalysis that underpinned important advances made during the latter half of the twentieth century.
Abstract: With the passing of Frank Sidney Stone on 5 March 2018 in Dorset, England, the solid state chemistry and the catalysis scientific communities lost a highly respected elder statesman. Always a gentleman, he was pleasant, unassuming and very knowledgeable with what might be described as a serious sense of humour that made his speeches especially entertaining. He was born and based throughout his life in the Bristol area of England. During World War II he was an undergraduate at the University of Bristol and after completing a PhD he was appointed an Assistant Lecturer and his career continued with an appointment as a Lecturer in 1951 and Reader in the mid-1960s. Perhaps because he was not promoted further in 1972 he moved to the nearby University of Bath as Professor of Chemistry. Here he held several important positions including that of Pro-Vice-Chancellor (1984 to 1987) and he formally retired in 1991. Then as Emeritus Professor he maintained a university office continuing as the long serving European Editor of the Journal of Catalysis until 1996. Stone’s first research involved copper and copper oxides and throughout his c career he worked with metal oxides and he did much to incorporate modern solid-state science into traditional heterogeneous catalysis that underpinned important advances made during the latter half of the twentieth century.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the oxygen removal at various temperatures using TPR traces of unsupported or alumina-supported ceria and showed that the reduction of surface capping oxygen and bulk oxygen anions is associated with reduction of the shared oxygen anion at the interface.
