  • The evolution of Pd active centers in size and spatial distribution often leads to irreversible deactivation in many high-temperature catalytic processes. Here the authors demonstrate the use of defective alumina (Al2O3-x) as a catalyst support to anchor Pd atoms and suppress the growth of Pd clusters in catalytic methane oxidation.

  • Probing gas sorption on defects and facets of porous materials at the nanoscale is challenging. Here, we visualize nano-domains of preferred formaldehyde sorption on (defective) ZIF-8 microcrystals using in situ Photo-induced Force Microscopy (PiFM).

  • Carbon dioxide is a desired feedstock for platform molecules, such as carbon monoxide and higher hydrocarbons, but needs improved catalysts. Here, the authors use a combined theoretical and experimental approach to tune the activity and selectivity of CO2 conversion over nickel towards desired products.

  • Catalytic conversion of CO2 into valuable hydrocarbons is a promising way to mitigate climate change. This work uncovers that cobalt oxide nanoparticles on a titania carrier produce more C2+ hydrocarbons than their metallic cobalt counterpart by following a different reaction mechanism.

  • Structure insensitivity in catalysis has been empirically observed, but no satisfactory theoretical explanation could be given. By studying different nanoparticle sizes under dynamic catalytic conditions reaction-dependent particle size dependent restructuring was linked to the aforementioned.

  • The hydrogenation of CO2 to form methane has been known for over a century. However, given increased interest in small-molecule activation for energy storage, and improved catalysts and understanding of the process, it is worthwhile to look again at the reaction. This Perspective discusses recent work on the fundamentals of the Sabatier reaction and also the potential for large-scale applications.
