Water-assisted generation of catalytic interface
The case of interfacial Pt-FeO<sub>x</sub>(OH)<sub>y</sub> sites active in preferential carbon monoxide oxidation
The surface of supported heterogeneous catalysts often contains adsorbed water and hydroxyl groups even when water is not directly added to the reaction stream. Nonetheless, the reactivity of adsorbed water and hydroxyl groups is rarely considered. We demonstrate that water and h

Paired Copper Monomers in Zeolite Omega
The Active Site for Methane-to-Methanol Conversion
The direct conversion of methane to methanol using oxygen is a challenging but potentially rewarding pathway towards utilizing methane. By using a stepwise chemical looping approach, copper-exchanged zeolites can convert methane to methanol, but productivity is still too low for

M Si<sub>20</sub>H<sub>20</sub> aggregates
From simple building blocks to highly magnetic functionalized materials
Density-functional theory based global geometry optimization is used to scrutinize the possibility of using endohedrally doped hydrogenated Si clusters as building blocks for constructing highly magnetic materials. In contrast to the known clathrate-type facet-sharing, the cluste

Open Sites of ZrBEA Zeolite Facilitate Selective Synthesis of Butadiene from Ethanol
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations have been used to elucidate the nature of active sites of ZrBEA zeolite responsible for the catalytic synthesis of butadiene. We show that the content of open Zr(IV) Lewis acid sites, represented b

In this critical review we examine the current state of our knowledge in respect of the nature of the active sites in copper containing zeolites for the selective conversion of methane to methanol. We consider the varied experimental evidence arising from the application of X-ray

Thermodynamic insights into strong metal-support interaction of transition metal nanoparticles on titania
Simple descriptors for complex chemistry
The metal-support interaction plays a critical role in heterogeneous catalysis. Under reducing conditions, oxidic supports may interact with supported metal particles, by either forming an oxide overlayer or an alloy. The structure of both the support and the nanoparticle, as wel

Ostwald ripening versus single atom trapping
Towards understanding platinum particle sintering
Ostwald ripening is a leading cause of the degradation of platinum group catalysts at high temperature in an oxidizing atmosphere. Recent experiments suggested that volatile species can be trapped on ceria, forming atomically dispersed active catalytic sites instead of large nano

Global structure search for molecules on surfaces
Efficient sampling with curvilinear coordinates
Efficient structure search is a major challenge in computational materials science. We present a modification of the basin hopping global geometry optimization approach that uses a curvilinear coordinate system to describe global trial moves. This approach has recently been shown
