Abstract
The strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) in supported catalysts plays a dominant role in catalytic degradation, upgrading, and remanufacturing of environmental pollutants. Previous studies have shown that SMSI is crucial in supported catalysts' activity and stability. However, for redox reactions catalyzed in environmental catalysis, the enhancement mechanism of SMSI-induced oxygen vacancy and electron transfer needs to be clarified. Additionally, the precise control of SMSI interface sites remains to be fully understood. Here we provide a systematic review of SMSI's catalytic mechanisms and control strategies in purifying gaseous pollutants, treating organic wastewater, and valorizing biomass solid waste. We explore the adsorption and activation mechanisms of SMSI in redox reactions by examining interfacial electron transfer, interfacial oxygen vacancy, and interfacial acidic sites. Furthermore, we develop a precise regulation strategy of SMSI from systematical perspectives of interface effect, crystal facet effect, size effect, guest ion doping, and modification effect. Importantly, we point out the drawbacks and breakthrough directions for SMSI regulation in environmental catalysis, including partial encapsulation strategy, size optimization strategy, interface oxygen vacancy strategy, and multi-component strategy. This review article provides the potential applications of SMSI and offers guidance for its controlled regulation in environmental catalysis.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed cerium species, anchored to high-area alumina by unsaturated penta-coordinated aluminum, strongly interact with atomically dispersed Cu species to provide active centers for water-gas shift reaction (WGSR). The alumina-anchored Ce3+ species stabilize atomically dispersed Cu+ to form Cu+-Ce3+ active complexes and they work synergistically to enhance low-temperature WGSR activity. This work offers alternative approaches to developing low-cost catalysts for the WGSR process.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024:e2403626.

Abstract
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) stand out in sustainable energy systems for their unique ability to efficiently utilize hydrocarbon fuels, particularly those from carbon-neutral sources. CeO2-δ (ceria) based oxides embedded in SOFCs are recognized for their critical role in managing hydrocarbon activation and carbon coking. However, even for the simplest hydrocarbon molecule, CH4, the mechanism of electrochemical oxidation at the ceria/gas interface is not well understood and the capability of ceria to electrochemically oxidize methane remains a topic of debate. This lack of clarity stems from the intricate design of standard metal/oxide composite electrodes and the complex nature of electrode reactions involving multiple chemical and electrochemical steps. This study presents a Sm-doped ceria thin-film model cell that selectively monitors CH4 direct-electro-oxidation on the ceria surface. Using impedance spectroscopy, operando X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory, it is unveiled that ceria surfaces facilitate C─H bond cleavage and that H2O formation is key in determining the overall reaction rate at the electrode. These insights effectively address the longstanding debate regarding the direct utilization of CH4 in SOFCs. Moreover, these findings pave the way for an optimized electrode design strategy, essential for developing high-performance, environmentally sustainable fuel cells.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNPs) are versatile materials with unique and unusual properties that vary depending on their surface chemistry, size, shape, coating, oxidation states, crystallinity, dopant, and structural and surface defects. This review encompasses advances made over the past twenty years in the development of CeNPs and ceria-based nanostructures, the structural determinants affecting their activity, and translation of these distinct features into applications. The two oxidation states of nanosized CeNPs (Ce3+/Ce4+) coexisting at the nanoscale level facilitate the formation of oxygen vacancies and defect states, which confer extremely high reactivity and oxygen buffering capacity and the ability to act as catalysts for oxidation and reduction reactions. However, the method of synthesis, surface functionalization, surface coating and defects are important factors in determining their properties. This review highlights key properties of CeNPs, their synthesis, interactions, and reaction pathways and provides examples of emerging applications. Due to their unique properties, CeNPs have become quintessential candidates for catalysis, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), sensing, biomedical applications, and environmental remediation, with tremendous potential to create novel products and translational innovations in a wide range of industries. This review highlights the timely relevance and the transformative potential of these materials in addressing societal challenges and driving technological advancements across these fields.

Abstract
Light-driven oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) for multi-carbon (C2+) product evolution is a promising approach toward the sustainable production of value-added chemicals, yet remains challenging due to its low intrinsic activity. Here, we demonstrate the integration of bismuth oxide (BiOx) and gold (Au) on titanium dioxide (TiO2) substrate to achieve a high conversion rate, product selectivity, and catalytic durability toward photocatalytic OCM through rational catalytic site engineering. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the lattice oxygen in BiOx is effectively activated as the localized oxidant to promote methane dissociation, while Au governs the methyl transfer to avoid undesirable overoxidation and promote carbon─carbon coupling. The optimal Au/BiOx-TiO2 hybrid delivers a conversion rate of 20.8 millimoles per gram per hour with C2+ product selectivity high to 97% in the flow reactor. More specifically, the veritable participation of lattice oxygen during OCM is chemically looped by introduced dioxygen via the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, endowing superior catalyst stability.

Abstract
Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising technique for converting greenhouse gases (namely, CH4 and CO2) into syngas. However, traditional thermocatalytic processes require high temperatures and suffer from low selectivity and coke-induced instability. Here, we report high-entropy alloys loaded on SrTiO3 as highly efficient and coke-resistant catalysts for light-driven DRM without a secondary source of heating. This process involves carbon exchange between reactants (i.e., CO2 and CH4) and oxygen exchange between CO2 and the lattice oxygen of supports, during which CO and H2 are gradually produced and released. Such a mechanism deeply suppresses the undesired side reactions such as reverse water-gas shift reaction and methane deep dissociation. Impressively, the optimized CoNiRuRhPd/SrTiO3 catalyst achieves ultrahigh activity (15.6/16.0 mol gmetal-1 h-1 for H2/CO production), long-term stability (∼150 h), and remarkable selectivity (∼0.96). This work opens a new avenue for future energy-efficient industrial applications.

Abstract
Beyond the now well-known strong catalyst-support interactions reported for ceria-supported platinum catalysts, intermetallic Ce-Pt compounds exhibit fascinating properties such as heavy fermion behavior and magnetic instability. Small heterometallic Ce-Pt clusters, which can provide insights into the local features that govern bulk phenomena, have been less explored. Herein, the anion photoelectron spectra of three small mixed Ce-Pt clusters, Ce2OPt-, Ce2Pt-, and Ce3Pt-, are presented and interpreted with supporting density functional theory calculations. The calculations, which are readily reconciled with the experimental spectra, suggest the presence of numerous close-lying spin states, including states in which the Ce 4f electrons are ferromagnetically coupled or antiferromagnetically coupled. The Pt center is consistently in a nominal -2 charge state in all cluster neutrals and anions, giving the Ce-Pt bond ionic character. Ce-Pt bonds are stronger than Ce-Ce bonds, and the O atom in Ce2OPt- coordinates only with the Ce centers. The energy of the singly occupied Ce-local 4f orbitals relative to the Pt-local orbitals changes with cluster composition. Discussion of the results includes potential implications for Ce-rich intermetallic materials.

Abstract
Metal-oxide interfaces on Cu-based catalysts play very important roles in the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction (LT-WGSR). However, developing catalysts with abundant, active, and robust Cu-metal oxide interfaces under LT-WGSR conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report the successful development of an inverse copper-ceria catalyst (Cu@CeO2), which exhibited very high efficiency for the LT-WGSR. At a reaction temperature of 250 °C, the LT-WGSR activity of the Cu@CeO2 catalyst was about three times higher than that of a pristine Cu catalyst without CeO2. Comprehensive quasi-in situ structural characterizations indicated that the Cu@CeO2 catalyst was rich in CeO2/Cu2O/Cu tandem interfaces. Reaction kinetics studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the Cu+/Cu0 interfaces were the active sites for the LT-WGSR, while adjacent CeO2 nanoparticles play a key role in activating H2O and stabilizing the Cu+/Cu0 interfaces. Our study highlights the role of the CeO2/Cu2O/Cu tandem interface in regulating catalyst activity and stability, thus contributing to the development of improved Cu-based catalysts for the LT-WGSR.

Abstract
Oxidative carbonylation of methane is an appealing approach to the synthesis of acetic acid but is limited by the demand for additional reagents. Here, we report a direct synthesis of CH3COOH solely from CH4 via photochemical conversion without additional reagents. This is made possible through the construction of the PdO/Pd-WO3 heterointerface nanocomposite containing active sites for CH4 activation and C-C coupling. In situ characterizations reveal that CH4 is dissociated into methyl groups on Pd sites while oxygen from PdO is the responsible for carbonyl formation. The cascade reaction between the methyl and carbonyl groups generates an acetyl precursor which is subsequently converted to CH3COOH. Remarkably, a production rate of 1.5 mmol gPd-1 h-1 and selectivity of 91.6% toward CH3COOH is achieved in a photochemical flow reactor. This work provides insights into intermediate control via material design, and opens an avenue to conversion of CH4 to oxygenates.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202219299.

Abstract
The activation of water molecules in thermal catalysis typically requires high temperatures, representing an obstacle to catalyst development for the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction (WGSR). Plasmonic photocatalysis allows activation of water at low temperatures through the generation of light-induced hot electrons. Herein, we report a layered double hydroxide-derived copper catalyst (LD-Cu) with outstanding performance for the low-temperature photo-driven WGSR. LD-Cu offered a lower activation energy for WGSR to H2 under UV/Vis irradiation (1.4 W cm-2 ) compared to under dark conditions. Detailed experimental studies revealed that highly dispersed Cu nanoparticles created an abundance of hot electrons during light absorption, which promoted *H2 O dissociation and *H combination via a carboxyl pathway, leading to the efficient production of H2 . Results demonstrate the benefits of exploiting plasmonic phenomena in the development of photo-driven low-temperature WGSR catalysts.

Abstract
Direct photocatalytic reduction of CO2 has become an highly active field of research. It is thus of utmost importance to maintain an overview of the various materials used to sustain this process, find common trends, and, in this way, eventually improve the current conversions and selectivities. In particular, CO2 photoreduction using plasmonic photocatalysts under solar light has gained tremendous attention, and a wide variety of materials has been developed to reduce CO2 towards more practical gases or liquid fuels (CH4 , CO, CH3 OH/CH3 CH2 OH) in this manner. This Review therefore aims at providing insights in current developments of photocatalysts consisting of only plasmonic nanoparticles and semiconductor materials. By classifying recent studies based on product selectivity, this Review aims to unravel common trends that can provide effective information on ways to improve the photoreduction yield or possible means to shift the selectivity towards desired products, thus generating new ideas for the way forward.

Abstract
A frontier challenge in single-atom (SA) catalysis is the design of fully inorganic sites capable of emulating the high reaction selectivity traditionally exclusive of organometallic counterparts in homogeneous catalysis. Modulating the direct coordination environment in SA sites, via the exploitation of the oxide support's surface chemistry, stands as a powerful albeit underexplored strategy. We report that isolated Rh atoms stabilized on oxygen-defective SnO2 uniquely unite excellent TOF with essentially full selectivity in the gas-phase hydroformylation of ethylene, inhibiting the thermodynamically favored olefin hydrogenation. Density Functional Theory calculations and surface characterization suggest that substantial depletion of the catalyst surface in lattice oxygen, energetically facile on SnO2 , is key to unlock a high coordination pliability at the mononuclear Rh centers, leading to an exceptional performance which is on par with that of molecular catalysts in liquid media.

Abstract
Probing surface chemistry during reactions closer to realistic conditions is crucial for the understanding of mechanisms in heterogeneous catalysis. Near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) is one of the state-of-the-art surface-sensitive techniques used to characterize catalyst surfaces in gas phases. This Perspective begins with a brief overview of the development of the NAP-XPS technique and its representative applications in identifying the active sites at a molecular level. Next, recent in situ NAP-XPS investigations of several model catalysts in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction are mainly discussed. Finally, we highlight the major challenges facing NAP-XPS and future improvements to facilities for probing intermediates with higher resolutions under real ambient pressure reactions in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
![]()
Following the need
for an innovative catalyst and material design
in catalysis, we provide a comparative approach using pure and Pd-doped
LaCuxMn1–xO3 (x = 0.3 and 0.5) perovskite
catalysts to elucidate the beneficial role of the Cu/perovskite and
the promoting effect of CuyPdx/perovskite interfaces developing in situ under model NO + CO reaction conditions. The observed bifunctional
synergism in terms of activity and N2 selectivity is essentially
attributed to an oxygen-deficient perovskite interface, which provides
efficient NO activation sites in contact with in situ exsolved surface-bound monometallic Cu and bimetallic CuPd nanoparticles.
The latter promotes the decomposition of the intermediate N2O at low temperatures, enhancing the selectivity toward N2. We show that the intelligent Cu/perovskite interfacial design is
the prerequisite to effectively replace noble metals by catalytically
equally potent metal–mixed-oxide interfaces. We have provided
the proof of principle for the NO + CO test reaction but anticipate
the extension to a universal concept applicable to similar materials
and reactions.

Abstract
Nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM) is a highly important process to simultaneously produce multicarbons and hydrogen. Although oxide-based photocatalysis opens opportunities for NOCM at mild condition, it suffers from unsatisfying selectivity and durability, due to overoxidation of CH4 with lattice oxygen. Here, we propose a heteroatom engineering strategy for highly active, selective and durable photocatalytic NOCM. Demonstrated by commonly used TiO2 photocatalyst, construction of Pd-O4 in surface reduces contribution of O sites to valence band, overcoming the limitations. In contrast to state of the art, 94.3% selectivity is achieved for C2H6 production at 0.91 mmol g-1 h-1 along with stoichiometric H2 production, approaching the level of thermocatalysis at relatively mild condition. As a benchmark, apparent quantum efficiency reaches 3.05% at 350 nm. Further elemental doping can elevate durability over 24 h by stabilizing lattice oxygen. This work provides new insights for high-performance photocatalytic NOCM by atomic engineering.

Abstract
The metal-support interfaces between metals and oxide supports have long been studied in catalytic applications, thanks to their significance in structural stability and efficient catalytic activity. The metal-rare earth oxide interface is particularly interesting because these early transition cations have high electrophilicity, and therefore good binding strength with Lewis basic molecules, such as H2O. Based on this feature, here we design a highly efficient composite Ni-Y2O3 catalyst, which forms abundant active Ni-NiOx-Y2O3 interfaces under the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction condition, achieving 140.6 μmolCO gcat−1 s−1 rate at 300 °C, which is the highest activity for Ni-based catalysts. A combination of theory and ex/in situ experimental study suggests that Y2O3 helps H2O dissociation at the Ni-NiOx-Y2O3 interfaces, promoting this rate limiting step in the WGS reaction. Construction of such new interfacial structure for molecules activation holds great promise in many catalytic systems. Developing effective and stable catalytic interfaces in the medium temperature region is a practical route to replace the existing water gas shift (WGS) process. Here the authors designed a composite Ni-Y2O3 catalyst achieving the highest WGS activity for Ni based catalysts.

Abstract
The water gas shift (WGS) reaction is a key process in the industrial hydrogen production and the development and application of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Metal oxide-supported highly dispersed Pt has been proved as an efficient catalyst for the WGS reaction. In this work, a series of supported 0.5Pt/xCe-10Ti (x = 1, 3, or 5) catalysts with different Ce/Ti molar ratios were prepared by a simple deposition-precipitation method. Compared with single TiO2- or CeO2-supported Pt catalysts, it was found that the 0.5Pt/3Ce-10Ti catalyst showed an obvious advantage in activity for the WGS reaction. In this catalyst, dispersed CeO2 nanoparticles were supported on the TiO2 sheets, and Pt single atoms and nanoparticles were located on CeO2 and at the boundary of TiO2 and CeO2, respectively. It found that the reduction ability of the supported Pt catalyst was remarkably improved; meanwhile, the adsorption strength of CO on the surface of 0.5Pt/3Ce-10Ti was moderate. The heterostructured CeO2-TiO2 support gave an effective regulation on the Pt status and further influenced the CO adsorption ability, inducing excellent WGS reaction activity. This work provides a reference for the development and application of heterostructured materials in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Catalysis is central to a more sustainable future and a circular economy. If the energy required to drive catalytic processes could be harvested directly from sunlight, the possibility of replacing contemporary processes based on terrestrial fuels by the conversion of light into chemical energy could become a step closer to reality. Plasmonic catalysis is currently at the forefront of photocatalysis, enabling one to overcome the limitations of "classical" wide bandgap semiconductors for solar-driven chemistry. Plasmonic catalysis enables the acceleration and control of a variety of molecular transformations due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excitation. Studies in this area have often focused on the fundamental understanding of plasmonic catalysis and the demonstration of plasmonic catalytic activities towards different reactions. In this feature article, we discuss recent contributions from our group in this field by employing plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) with controllable features as model systems to gain insights into structure-performance relationships in plasmonic catalysis. We start by discussing the effect of size, shape, and composition in plasmonic NPs over their activities towards LSPR-mediated molecular transformations. Then, we focus on the effect of metal support interactions over activities, reaction selectivity, and reaction pathways. Next, we shift to the control over the structure in hollow NPs and nanorattles. Inspired by the findings from these model systems, we demonstrate a design-driven strategy for the development of plasmonic catalysts based on plasmonic-catalytic multicomponent NPs for two types of molecular transformations: the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene and the oxygen evolution reaction. Finally, future directions, challenges, and perspectives in the field of plasmonic catalysis with designer NPs are discussed. We believe that the examples and concepts presented herein may inspire work and progress in plasmonic catalysis encompassing the design of plasmonic multicomponent materials, new strategies to control reaction selectivity, and the unraveling of stability and reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
![]()
Activating
water
and methanol is crucial in numerous catalytic,
electrocatalytic, and photocatalytic reactions. Despite extensive
research, the optimal active sites for water/methanol activation are
yet to be unequivocally elucidated. Here, we combine transition-state
searches and electronic charge analyses on various structurally different
materials to identify two features of favorable O–H bond cleavage
in H2O, CH3OH, and hydroxyl: (1) low barriers
appear when the charge of H moieties remains approximately constant
during the dissociation process, as observed on metal oxides, MXenes,
and metal/oxide interfaces. Such favorable kinetics is closely related
to adsorbate/substrate hydrogen bonding and is enhanced by nearly
linear O–H–O angles and short O–H distances.
(2) Fast dissociation is observed when the rotation of O–H
bonds is facile, which is favored by weak adsorbate binding and effective
orbital overlap. Interestingly, we find that the two features are
energetically proportional. Finally, we find conspicuous differences
between H2O/CH3OH and OH activation, which hints
toward the use of carefully engineered interfaces.

Abstract
The water–gas shift reaction (WGSR) plays a pivotal role in many important industrial processes as well as in the elimination of residual CO in feed gas for fuel cells. The development of a high-efficiency low-temperature WGSR (LT-WGSR) catalyst has attracted considerable attention. Herein, we report a ZnO-modified Cu-based nanocatalyst (denoted as Cu@ZnO/Al2O3) obtained via an in situ topological transformation from a Cu2Zn1Al-layered double hydroxide (Cu2Zn1Al-LDH) precursor at different reduction temperatures. The optimal Cu@ZnO/Al2O3-300R catalyst with appropriately abundant Cu@ZnO interface structure shows superior catalytic performance toward the LT-WGSR with a reaction rate of up to 19.47 μmolCO gcat−1 s−1 at 175 °C, which is ∼5 times larger than the commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) proves that the reduction treatment results in the coverage of Cu nanoparticles by ZnO overlayers induced by a strong metal–support interaction (SMSI). Furthermore, the generation of the coating layers of ZnO structure is conducive to stabilize Cu nanoparticles, accounting for long-term stability under the reaction conditions and excellent start/stop cycle of the Cu@ZnO/Al2O3-300R catalyst. This study provides a high-efficiency and low-cost Cu-based catalyst for the LT-WGSR and gives a concrete example to help understand the role of Cu@ZnO interface structure in dominating the catalytic activity and stability toward WGSR. The water–gas shift reaction (WGSR) plays a pivotal role in many important industrial processes as well as in the elimination of residual CO in feed gas for fuel cells.![]()

Abstract
The mixed-metal oxide Ni/Fe3O4/TiO2 with two metal-oxide interfaces to catalyze sequential chemical reactions was first applied in the decomposition of phosphine gas for yellow phosphorus (P4) production. The catalyst was prepared with tunable Ni-Fe3O4 and Ni-TiO2 interactions via annealing and subsequent reduction. Ni/Fe3O4/TiO2 exhibited significantly effective activity and good stability in the PH3 decomposition, which were achieved by modulating the metal-support interaction. The characterizations by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD), BET surface area measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were carried out. The enhancements of the Ni-Fe3O4 and Ni-TiO2 dual interactions by annealing and reduction were verified and the mechanism of PH3 decomposition over the modulated Ni/Fe3O4/TiO2 catalyst was investigated. NiOOH as an active catalytic intermediate species is produced by the synergistic catalytical dual interfaces. The catalytic reaction pathways of PH3 decomposition by the dual interfaces were firstly revealed. The results provide underlying insights in the way to promote the catalytic performance for synergistic catalysis in PH3 decomposition.

Abstract
Fundamental understanding of the nature of active sites in real-life water gas shift (WGS) catalysts that can convert CO and H2O into CO2 and H2 is crucial to engineer related catalysts performing under ambient conditions. Herein, we identified that the WGS reaction can be, in principle, catalyzed by rhodium-manganese oxide clusters Rh2MnO1,2- in the gas phase at room temperature. This is the first example of the construction of such a potential catalysis in cluster science because it is challenging to discover clusters that can abstract the oxygen from H2O and then supply the anchored oxygen to oxidize CO. The WGS reaction was characterized by mass spectrometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, and quantum-chemical calculations. The coordinated oxygen in Rh2MnO1,2- is paramount for the generation of an electron-rich Mn+-Rh- bond that is critical to capture and reduce H2O and giving rise to a polarized Rh+-Rh- bond that functions as the real redox center to drive the WGS reaction.

Abstract
As an alternative to noble metal hydrogenation catalysts, pure molybdenum carbide displays unsatisfactory catalytic activity for arene hydrogenation. Precious metals such as palladium, platinum, and gold are widely used as additives to enhance the catalytic activities of molybdenum carbide, which severely limits its potential applications in industry. In this paper, iron-promoted molybdenum carbide was prepared and characterized by various techniques, including in situ XRD, synchrotron-based XPS and TEM. while the influence of Fe addition on catalytic performance for toluene hydrogenation was also studied. The experimental data disclose that a small amount of Fe doping strongly enhances catalytic stability in toluene hydrogenation, but the catalytic performance drops rapidly with higher loading amounts of Fe.

Herein, via a comprehensive experimental and theoretical calculation study of a series of ZnO/Cu nanocrystals inverse catalysts with well-defined Cu structures, we report that the ZnO–Cu catalysts undergo Cu structure-dependent and reaction-sensitive in situ restructuring during WGS and CO hydrogenation reactions under typical reaction conditions, forming the active sites of CuCu(100)-hydroxylated ZnO ensemble and CuCu(611)Zn alloy, respectively. These results provide insights into the active sites of Cu–ZnO catalysts for the WGS and CO hydrogenation reactions and reveal the Cu structural effects, and offer the feasible guideline for optimizing the structures of Cu–ZnO–Al2O3 catalysts. Identification of active sites of a catalyst is the Holy Grail in heterogeneous catalysis. Here, the authors successfully identify the CuCu(100)- hydroxylated ZnO ensemble and CuCu(611)Zn alloy as the active sites of Cu-ZnO catalysts for water gas shift and CO hydrogenation reactions, respectively.

Abstract
Operando characterization of working catalysts, requiring per definitionem the simultaneous measurement of catalytic performance, is crucial to identify the relevant catalyst structure, composition and adsorbed species. Frequently applied operando techniques are discussed, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy, near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. In contrast to these area-averaging spectroscopies, operando surface microscopy by photoemission electron microscopy delivers spatially-resolved data, directly visualizing catalyst heterogeneity. For thorough interpretation, the experimental results should be complemented by density functional theory. The operando approach enables to identify changes of cluster/nanoparticle structure and composition during ongoing catalytic reactions and reveal how molecules interact with surfaces and interfaces. The case studies cover the length-scales from clusters via nanoparticles to meso-scale aggregates, and demonstrate the benefits of specific operando methods. Restructuring, ligand/atom mobility, and surface composition alterations during the reaction may have pronounced effects on activity and selectivity. The nanoscale metal/oxide interface steers catalytic performance via a long ranging effect. Combining operando spectroscopy with switching gas feeds or concentration-modulation provides further mechanistic insights. The obtained fundamental understanding is a prerequisite for improving catalytic performance and for rational design.

Abstract
High-harmonic generation (HHG) from the condensed matter phase holds promise to promote future cutting-edge research in the emerging field of attosecond nanoscopy. The key for the progress of the field relies on the capability of the existing schemes to enhance the harmonic yield and to push the photon energy cutoff to the extreme-ultraviolet (XUV, 10-100 eV) regime and beyond toward the spectral "water window" region (282-533 eV). Here, we demonstrate a coherent control scheme of HHG, which we show to give rise to quantum modulations in the XUV region. These modulations are shown to be caused by quantum-path interferences and are found to exhibit a strong sensitivity to the delocalized character of bulk states of the material. The control scheme is based on exploring surface states in transition-metal surfaces and, specifically, tuning the electronic structure of the metal surface itself together with the use of optimal chirped pulses. Moreover, we show that the use of such pulses having moderate intensities permits us to push the harmonic cutoff further to the spectral water window region and that the extension is found to be robust against the change in the intrinsic properties of the material. The scenario is numerically implemented using a minimal model by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the metal surface Cu(111) initially prepared in the surface state. Our findings elucidate the importance of metal surfaces for generating coherent isolated attosecond XUV and soft-x-ray pulses and for designing compact solid-state HHG devices.

Shape Effects of Ceria Nanoparticles on the Water‒Gas Shift Performance of CuOx/CeO2 Catalysts. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
The copper–ceria (CuOx/CeO2) system has been extensively investigated in several catalytic processes, given its distinctive properties and considerable low cost compared to noble metal-based catalysts. The fine-tuning of key parameters, e.g., the particle size and shape of individual counterparts, can significantly affect the physicochemical properties and subsequently the catalytic performance of the binary oxide. To this end, the present work focuses on the morphology effects of ceria nanoparticles, i.e., nanopolyhedra (P), nanocubes (C), and nanorods (R), on the water–gas shift (WGS) performance of CuOx/CeO2 catalysts. Various characterization techniques were employed to unveil the effect of shape on the structural, redox and surface properties. According to the acquired results, the support morphology affects to a different extent the reducibility and mobility of oxygen species, following the trend: R > P > C. This consequently influences copper–ceria interactions and the stabilization of partially reduced copper species (Cu+) through the Cu2+/Cu+ and Ce4+/Ce3+ redox cycles. Regarding the WGS performance, bare ceria supports exhibit no activity, while the addition of copper to the different ceria nanostructures alters significantly this behaviour. The CuOx/CeO2 sample of rod-like morphology demonstrates the best catalytic activity and stability, approaching the thermodynamic equilibrium conversion at 350 °C. The greater abundance in loosely bound oxygen species, oxygen vacancies and highly dispersed Cu+ species can be mainly accounted for its superior catalytic performance.

Facet-Dependent Reactivity of Ceria Nanoparticles Exemplified by CeO2-Based Transition Metal Catalysts: A Critical Review. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
The rational design and fabrication of highly-active and cost-efficient catalytic materials constitutes the main research pillar in catalysis field. In this context, the fine-tuning of size and shape at the nanometer scale can exert an intense impact not only on the inherent reactivity of catalyst’s counterparts but also on their interfacial interactions; it can also opening up new horizons for the development of highly active and robust materials. The present critical review, focusing mainly on our recent advances on the topic, aims to highlight the pivotal role of shape engineering in catalysis, exemplified by noble metal-free, CeO2-based transition metal catalysts (TMs/CeO2). The underlying mechanism of facet-dependent reactivity is initially discussed. The main implications of ceria nanoparticles’ shape engineering (rods, cubes, and polyhedra) in catalysis are next discussed, on the ground of some of the most pertinent heterogeneous reactions, such as CO2 hydrogenation, CO oxidation, and N2O decomposition. It is clearly revealed that shape functionalization can remarkably affect the intrinsic features and in turn the reactivity of ceria nanoparticles. More importantly, by combining ceria nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) of specific architecture with various transition metals (e.g., Cu, Fe, Co, and Ni) remarkably active multifunctional composites can be obtained due mainly to the synergistic metalceria interactions. From the practical point of view, novel catalyst formulations with similar or even superior reactivity to that of noble metals can be obtained by co-adjusting the shape and composition of mixed oxides, such as Cu/ceria nanorods for CO oxidation and Ni/ceria nanorods for CO2 hydrogenation. The conclusions derived could provide the design principles of earth-abundant metal oxide catalysts for various real-life environmental and energy applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting via a cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an advanced technology for clean H2 generation. Ru nanoparticle is a promising candidate for the state-of-the-art Pt catalyst; however, they still lack the competitiveness of Pt in alkaline and neutral media. Herein, a ternary HER electrocatalyst involving nano Ru and Cr2O3 as well as N-doped graphene (NG) that can work in alkaline and neutral media is proposed. Cr2O3 and NG feature strong binding energies for hydroxyl and hydrogen, respectively, which can accelerate the dissociation of water, whereas Ru has weak hydrogen binding energy to stimulate hydrogen coupling. The HER activity of Ru is greatly enhanced by the promoted water-dissociation effect of NG and Cr2O3. To achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2, the as-obtained Ru-Cr2O3/NG only needs a very low overpotential of 47 mV, which outperforms the activity of Pt/C in alkaline media. The strategy proposed here, multi-site acceleration of water dissociation, provides new guidance on the design of a highly efficient, inexpensive, and biocompatible HER catalyst in nonacidic condition.

Abstract
Modern surface science faces two major challenges, a materials gap and a pressure gap. While studies on single crystal surface in ultrahigh vacuum have uncovered the atomic and electronic structures of the surface, the materials and environmental conditions of commercial catalysis are much more complicated, both in the structure of the materials and in the accessible pressure range of analysis instruments. Model systems and operando surface techniques have been developed to bridge these gaps. In this Review, we highlight the current trends in the development of the surface characterization techniques and methodologies in more realistic environments, with emphasis on recent research efforts at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. We show principles and applications of the microscopic and spectroscopic surface techniques at ambient pressure that were used for the characterization of atomic structure, electronic structure, charge transport, and the mechanical properties of catalytic and energy materials. Ambient pressure scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy allow us to observe the surface restructuring that occurs during oxidation, reduction, and catalytic processes. In addition, we introduce the ambient pressure atomic force microscopy that revealed the morphological, mechanical, and charge transport properties that occur during the catalytic and energy conversion processes. Hot electron detection enables the monitoring of catalytic reactions and electronic excitations on the surface. Overall, the information on the nature of catalytic reactions obtained with operando spectroscopic and microscopic techniques may bring breakthroughs in some of the global energy and environmental problems the world is facing.

Abstract
The thermal deactivation of Pd/CeO2-ZrO2 (Pd/CZ) three-way catalysts was studied via nanoscale structural characterization and catalytic kinetic analysis to obtain a fundamental modeling concept for predicting the real catalyst lifetime. The catalysts were engine-aged at 600-1100 °C and used for chassis dynamometer driving test cycles. Observations using an electron microscope and chemisorption experiments showed that the Pd particle size significantly changed in the range of 10-550 nm as a function of aging temperatures. The deactivated catalyst structure was modeled using different-sized hemispherical Pd particles that were in intimate contact with the support surface. Therefore, Pd/CZ contained two types of surface Pd sites residing on the surface of a hemisphere (Pds) and circular periphery of the Pd/CZ interface (Pdb), whereas a reference catalyst, Pd/Al2O3, contained only Pds. In all Pd particle sizes investigated herein, Pd/CZ exhibited higher reaction rates than Pd/Al2O3, which nonlinearly increased with increasing slope as the weight-based number of surface-exposed Pd atoms ([Pds] + [Pdb]) increased. This finding contrasted with that of Pd/Al2O3, where the reaction rate linearly increased with [Pds]. When the Pds sites in both catalysts were equivalent in terms of their specific activities, the activity difference between Pd/CZ and Pd/Al2O3 corresponded to the contribution from Pdb, where oxygen storage/release to/from CZ played a key role. This contribution linearly increased with [Pdb] and therefore decreased with Pd sintering. Although both Pds and Pdb sites showed nearly constant turnover frequencies despite the difference in the Pd particle size, the values for Pdb were more than 2 orders of magnitude greater than those for Pds when assuming a single-atom width one-dimensional Pdb row model. These results suggest that the thermal deterioration of the three-phase boundary site, where Pd, CZ, and the gas phase meet, determines the activity under surface-controlled conditions.

Abstract
Photodeposition of Cu nanoparticles on ceria (CeO2) aerogels generates a high surface area composite material with sufficient metallic Cu to exhibit an air-stable surface plasmon resonance. We show that balancing the surface area of the aerogel support with the Cu weight loading is a critical factor in retaining stable Cu0. At higher Cu weight loadings or with a lower support surface area, Cu aggregation is observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Analysis of Cu/CeO2 using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy finds a mixture of Cu2+, Cu+, and Cu0, with Cu+ at the surface. At 5 wt% Cu, Cu/CeO2 aerogels exhibit high activity for heterogeneous CO oxidation catalysis at low temperatures (94% conversion of CO at 150 °C), substantially out-performing Cu/TiO2 aerogel catalysts featuring the same weight loading of Cu on TiO2 (20% conversion of CO at 150 °C). The present study demonstrates an extension of our previous concept of stabilizing catalytic Cu nanoparticles in low oxidation states on reducing, high surface area aerogel supports. Changing the reducing power of the support modulates the catalytic activity of mixed-valent Cu nanoparticles and metal oxide support.

Schnadt J, Knudsen J, Johansson N. Present and new frontiers in materials research by ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. JOURNAL OF PHYSICS. CONDENSED MATTER : AN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS JOURNAL 2020; 32:413003. [PMID: 32438360 DOI: 10.1088/1361-648x/ab9565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In this topical review we catagorise all ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy publications that have appeared between the 1970s and the end of 2018 according to their scientific field. We find that catalysis, surface science and materials science are predominant, while, for example, electrocatalysis and thin film growth are emerging. All catalysis publications that we could identify are cited, and selected case stories with increasing complexity in terms of surface structure or chemical reaction are discussed. For thin film growth we discuss recent examples from chemical vapour deposition and atomic layer deposition. Finally, we also discuss current frontiers of ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy research, indicating some directions of future development of the field.
