Abstract
TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2NTs) are beneficial for photogenerated electron separation in photocatalysis. In order to improve the utilization rate of TiO2NTs in the visible light region, an effective method is to use Aun cluster deposition-modified TiO2NTs. It is of great significance to investigate the mechanism of Aun clusters supported on TiO2NTs to strengthen its visible-light response. In this work, the structures, electronic properties, Mulliken atomic charge, density of states, band structure, and deformation density of Aun (n = 1, 8, 13) clusters supported on TiO2NTs were investigated by DMOL3. Based on published research results, the most stable adsorption configurations of Aun (n = 1, 8, 13) clusters supported with TiO2NTs were obtained. The adsorption energy increased as the number of Au adatoms increased linearly. The Aun clusters supported on TiO2NTs carry a negative charge. The band gaps of the three most stable structures of each adsorption system decreased compared to TiO2NTs; the valence top and the conduction bottom of the Fermi level come mainly from the contribution of 5d and 6s-Au. The electronic properties of the 5d and 6s impurity orbitals cause valence widening and band gap narrowing.

Abstract
Surface functionalization through adsorption of ligands or non-metal atoms is considered to be an interesting and viable approach for tuning the physicochemical properties of gold clusters. Highly stable and magic numbered electronic configurations of thiolate protected gold clusters such as Au25(SR)18, Au38(SR)24etc. with intriguing properties are the direct manifestation of the rich chemistry of the Au-S interface. The present investigation discerns the CO oxidation activity of structurally well characterized sulphur functionalized gold cluster anions AumS4-, m = 6-10. To establish an in-depth understanding, their activities are analyzed and compared with the corresponding pristine gold clusters. It is seen that sulphur functionalization irrespective of a closed or open shell nature leads to a significant decrease in the O2 adsorption energies on the anionic gold clusters. However, in sharp contrast to O2 adsorption, surface functionalization gives rise to multifarious catalytic behavior in AumS4- clusters with catalytic activity ranging from low (for Au6S4-, Au8S4-) to moderate (for Au9S4-, Au10S4-) to very high (for Au7S4-) for CO oxidation. It is interesting to note that the closed shell Au7S4- and Au9S4- clusters with poor O2 adsorption show remarkably low activation barriers and enhanced catalytic activity as compared to the open shell AumS4- clusters with an odd number of electrons. In particular, in the case of Au7S4- the lowest activation energy barriers of 0.01 and 0.21 eV are obtained, making the CO oxidation reaction facile. Moreover, ab initio molecular dynamics are performed to confirm the enhanced catalytic behaviour of Au7S4- and its dynamical stability during the desorption of CO2 molecule from its surface.

Abstract
Low-energy wet milling was employed to activate commercial CoAl2O4 spinel and disperse mono- and multimetallic nanoparticles on its surface. This method yielded efficient Pt,Ni catalysts for soot oxidation in simulated diesel exhaust conditions. The characterization and activity results indicated that although Ni/CoAl2O4 was highly active, the presence of Pt was required to obtain a stable Ni(0.25 wt. %),Pt(0.75 wt. %)/CoAl2O4 catalyst under the operating conditions of diesel particulate filters, and that hot spots formation must be controlled to avoid the deactivation of the cobalt aluminate. Our work provides important insight for new design strategies to develop high-efficiency low-cost catalysts. Platinum-containing multimetallic nanostructures could efficiently reduce the amount of the costly, but to date non-replaceable, Pt noble metal for a large number of industrially important catalytic processes.

Abstract
Gold clusters are known for their unique catalytic properties, among which, endohedral gold clusters doped with heteroatoms have remarkable stabilities, with electronic structures tunable by both cluster size and doping element. Thus, it is intriguing and imperative to understand the principles for modulating the catalytic behaviors of these novel clusters. Here, we exploit experimentally produced M@Au12 (M = transition metal) cage clusters for catalysis of CO oxidation. The doping effects of 3d, 4d and 5d transition metals (V, Cr, Mn, Nb, Mo, Ta, W and Re) on the catalytic properties were systematically explored by first-principles calculations. Among the considered M@Au12 clusters, Cr@Au12 and Mn@Au12 provide a suitable binding strength with reaction intermediates and are highly active for CO oxidation with reaction barriers of 0.41 eV under the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. More importantly, we establish a distinct relationship between catalytic activity and the M-Au bond order and the d orbital center of the M@Au12 clusters, which would help tailor their catalytic performance with atomistic precision and enable utilization of these stable gold cages for catalysis of various chemical processes.

Abstract
Employing dispersion-corrected density functional theory, we examine the geometry, electronic structure, and reactivity of 13-atom Au nanoparticle supported on defect-laden single-layer MoS2. The planar structure of Au13 favored in isolated phase, transforms into the three-dimensional structure when supported on MoS2. We find that charge is transferred from MoS2 to Au13, and that the electron density is also distributed away from the Au13/MoS2 interfacial region-making Au sites away from the interface catalytically active. Owing to effect of the support, the Au d states become narrower, and the frontier states appear close to the Fermi level. Consequently, in contrast to the reactivity of Au13/TiO2 toward methanol decomposition, Au13/MoS2 offers excellent activity toward methanol synthesis, as demonstrated here, via CO hydrogenation.

Abstract
The development of new catalysts for energy technology and environmental remediation requires a thorough knowledge of how the physical and chemical properties of a catalyst affect its reactivity. For supported metal nanoparticles (NPs), such properties can include the particle size, shape, composition, and chemical state, but a critical parameter which must not be overlooked is the role of the NP support. Here, we highlight the key mechanisms behind support-induced enhancement in the catalytic properties of metal NPs. These include support-induced changes in the NP morphology, stability, electronic structure, and chemical state, as well as changes in the support due to the NPs. Utilizing the support-dependent phenomena described in this Perspective may allow significant breakthroughs in the design and tailoring of the catalytic activity and selectivity of metal nanoparticles.

The role of reducible oxide-metal cluster charge transfer in catalytic processes: new insights on the catalytic mechanism of CO oxidation on Au/TiO2 from ab initio molecular dynamics.

Abstract
To probe metal particle/reducible oxide interactions density functional theory based ab initio molecular dynamics studies were performed on a prototypical metal cluster (Au20) supported on reducible oxides (rutile TiO2(110)) to implicitly account for finite temperature effects and the role of excess surface charge in the metal oxide. It is found that the charge state of the Au particle is negative in a reducing chemical environment whereas in the presence of oxidizing species coadsorbed to the oxide surface the cluster obtained a net positive charge. In the context of the well-known CO oxidation reaction, charge transfer facilitates the plasticization of Au20, which allows for a strong adsorbate induced surface reconstruction upon addition of CO leading to the formation of mobile Au-CO species on the surface. The charging/discharging of the cluster during the catalytic cycle of CO oxidation enhances and controls the amount of O2 adsorbed at oxide/cluster interface and strongly influences the energetics of all redox steps in catalytic conversions. A detailed comparison of the current findings with previous studies is presented, and generalities about the role of surface-adsorbate charge transfer for metal cluster/reducible oxide interactions are discussed.
