Ammonia synthesis consumes 3 to 5% of the world’s natural gas, making it a significant
contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Strategies for synthesizing ammonia that are not …

Defect sites play an essential role in ceria catalysis. In this study, ceria nanocrystals with well-defined
surface planes have been synthesized and utilized for studying defect sites with …

Hydrogen generation from the direct splitting of water by photocatalysis is regarded as a
promising and renewable solution for the energy crisis. The key to realize this reaction is to find …

Although there are only a few known examples of supported single-atom catalysts, they are
unique because they bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. …

Single-atom catalysts have recently been applied in many applications such as CO oxidation.
Experimental in situ investigations into this reaction, however, are limited. Hereby, we …

It is crucial to develop a catalyst made of earth-abundant elements highly active for a
complete oxidation of methane at a relatively low temperature. NiCo 2 O 4 consisting of earth-…

Atomic surface structures of CeO 2 nanoparticles are under debate owing to the lack of clear
experimental determination of the oxygen atom positions. In this study, with oxygen atoms …

Lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolytes hold promise for enabling high-energy battery
chemistries and circumventing safety issues of conventional lithium batteries. Achieving the …

CO oxidation is a model reaction for probing the redox property of ceria-based catalysts. In
this study, CO oxidation was investigated over ceria nanocrystals with defined surface planes …

In this work, we demonstrate for the first time the introduction of π-complexation into a porous
aromatic framework (PAF), affording significant increase in ethylene uptake capacity, as …
