1. INTRODUCTION Heterogeneous catalysis, whereby a gas-or liquid-phase reaction is
performed over a solid catalyst, is at the heart of the modern energy and chemical industries. …

The proximity of nanoparticles may affect the performance, in particular the stability, of
supported metal catalysts. Short interparticle distances often arise during catalyst preparation by …

In this contribution, we investigated the preparation of Ni/SiO 2 catalysts with aqueous [Ni(OH
2 ) 6 ](NO 3 ) 2 solutions via the impregnation and drying method using ordered …

In order to obtain copper catalysts with high dispersions at high copper loadings, the gas
flow rate and gas composition was varied during calcination of silica gel impregnated with …

A main reason for catalyst deactivation in supported catalysts for methanol synthesis is
copper particle growth. We have functionalized the support surface in order to suppress the …

By the combination of electron tomography with image segmentation, the properties of 299
NiO crystallites contained in 6 SBA-15 pores were studied. A statistical analysis of the particle …

To develop structure–performance relationships for important catalysts, a detailed characterization
of their morphology is essential. Using electron tomography, we determined in three …

Metal nanoparticle growth represents a major deactivation mechanism of supported catalysts
and other functional nanomaterials, particularly those based on low melting-point metals. …

MgH 2 nanoparticles with different average sizes have been prepared as ordered microporous
carbon by tuning the Mg amount from 15 to 50 wt %. Ultrasmall particles with mean sizes …

Efficient and more sustainable production of transportation fuels is key to fulfill the ever-increasing
global demand. In order to achieve this, progress in the development of highly active …
