Abstract
Graphitic deposits anti-segregate into Ni0 nanoparticles to provide restored CH4 adsorption sites and near-surface/dissolved C atoms, which migrate to the Ni0 /ZrO2 interface and induce local Zrx Cy formation. The resulting oxygen-deficient carbidic phase boundary sites assist in the kinetically enhanced CO2 activation toward CO(g). This interface carbide mechanism allows for enhanced spillover of carbon to the ZrO2 support, and represents an alternative catalyst regeneration pathway with respect to the reverse oxygen spillover on Ni-CeZrx Oy catalysts. It is therefore rather likely on supports with limited oxygen storage/exchange kinetics but significant carbothermal reducibility.

Abstract
![]()
The methane dry reforming (DRM) reaction mechanism was
explored
via mechanochemically prepared Pd/CeO2 catalysts (PdAcCeO2M), which yield unique Pd–Ce interfaces, where PdAcCeO2M has a distinct reaction mechanism and higher reactivity
for DRM relative to traditionally synthesized impregnated Pd/CeO2 (PdCeO2IW). In situ characterization and density
functional theory calculations revealed that the enhanced chemistry
of PdAcCeO2M can be attributed to the presence of a carbon-modified
Pd0 and Ce4+/3+ surface arrangement, where distinct
Pd–CO intermediate species and strong Pd–CeO2 interactions are activated and sustained exclusively under reaction
conditions. This unique arrangement leads to highly selective and
distinct surface reaction pathways that prefer the direct oxidation
of CHx to CO, identified on PdAcCeO2M using isotope labeled diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier
transform spectroscopy and highlighting linear Pd–CO species
bound on metallic and C-modified Pd, leading to adsorbed HCOO [1595
cm–1] species as key DRM intermediates, stemming
from associative CO2 reduction. The milled materials contrast
strikingly with surface processes observed on IW samples (PdCeO2IW) where the competing reverse water gas shift reaction predominates.

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.

Steering the methanol steam reforming reactivity of intermetallic Cu-In compounds by redox activation: stability vs. formation of an intermetallic compound-oxide interface. Catal Sci Technol 2021; 11:5518-5533.

Abstract
To compare the inherent methanol steam reforming properties of intermetallic compounds and a corresponding intermetallic compound–oxide interface, we selected the Cu–In system as a model to correlate the stability limits, self-activation and redox activation properties with the catalytic performance. Three distinct intermetallic Cu–In compounds – Cu7In3, Cu2In and Cu11In9 – were studied both in an untreated and redox-activated state resulting from alternating oxidation–reduction cycles. The stability of all studied intermetallic compounds during methanol steam reforming (MSR) operation is essentially independent of the initial stoichiometry and all accordingly resist substantial structural changes. The inherent activity under batch MSR conditions is highest for Cu2In, corroborating the results of a Cu2In/In2O3 sample accessed through reactive metal–support interaction. Under flow MSR operation, Cu7In3 displays considerable deactivation, while Cu2In and Cu11In9 feature stable performance at simultaneously high CO2 selectivity. The missing significant self-activation is most evident in the operando thermogravimetric experiments, where no oxidation is detected for any of the intermetallic compounds. In situ X-ray diffraction allowed us to monitor the partial decomposition and redox activation of the Cu–In intermetallic compounds into Cu0.9In0.1/In2O3 (from Cu7In3), Cu7In3/In2O3 (from Cu2In) and Cu7In3/Cu0.9In0.1/In2O3 (from Cu11In9) interfaces with superior MSR performance compared to the untreated samples. Although the catalytic profiles appear surprisingly similar, the latter interface with the highest indium content exhibits the least deactivation, which we explain by formation of stabilizing In2O3 patches under MSR conditions. To compare the properties of intermetallic compounds and intermetallic compound–oxide interfaces, Cu–In was used as a model to correlate stability limits, self-activation and redox activation with the inherent methanol steam reforming performance.![]()

Abstract
Based on the increasing importance of intermetallic compounds and alloys in heterogeneous catalysis, we explore the possibilities of using selected intermetallic compounds and alloy structures and phases as catalyst precursors to prepare highly active and CO2-selective methanol steam reforming (MSR) as well as dry reforming of methane (DRM) catalyst entities by controlled in situ decomposition and self-activation. The exemplary discussed examples (Cu51Zr14, CuZn, Pd2Zr, GaPd2, Cu2In, ZnPd, and InPd) show both the advantages and pitfalls of this approach and how the concept can be generalized to encompass a wider set of intermetallic compounds and alloy structures. Despite the common feature of all systems being the more or less pronounced decomposition of the intermetallic compound surface and bulk structure and the in situ formation of much more complex catalyst entities, differences arise due to the oxidation propensity and general thermodynamic stability of the chosen intermetallic compound/alloy and their constituents. The metastability and intrinsic reactivity of the evolving oxide polymorph introduced upon decomposition and the surface and bulk reactivity of carbon, governed by the nature of the metal/intermetallic compound-oxide interfacial sites, are of equal importance. Structural and chemical rearrangements, dictating the catalytic performance of the resulting entity, are present in the form of a complete destruction of the intermetallic compound bulk structure (Cu51Zr14) and the formation of an metal/oxide (Cu51Zr14, InPd) or intermetallic compound/oxide (ZnPd, Cu2In, CuZn) interface or the intertranformation of intermetallic compounds with varying composition (Pd2Zr) before the formation of Pd/ZrO2. In this Perspective, the prerequisites to obtain a leading theme for pronounced CO2 selectivity and high activity will be reviewed. Special focus will be put on raising awareness of the intrinsic properties of the discussed catalyst systems that need to be controlled to obtain catalytically prospective materials. The use of model systems to bridge the material's gap in catalysis will also be highlighted for selected examples.

Abstract
Four vinyl polymer gels (VPGs) were synthesized by free radical polymerization of divinylbenzene, ethane-1,2-diyl dimethacrylate, and copolymerization of divinylbenzene with styrene, and ethane-1,2-diyl dimethacrylate with methyl methacrylate, as supports for palladium nanoparticles. VPGs obtained from divinylbenzene and from divinylbenzene with styrene had spherical shapes while those obtained from ethane-1,2-diyl dimethacrylate and from ethane-1,2-diyl dimethacrylate with methyl methacrylate did not have any specific shapes. Pd(OAc)2 was impregnated onto VPGs and reduced to form Pd0 nanoparticles within VPGs. The structures of Pd0-loaded VPGs were analyzed by XRD, TEM, and nitrogen gas adsorption. Pd0-loaded VPGs had nanocrystals of Pd0 within and on the surface of the polymeric supports. Pd0/VPGs efficiently catalyzed the oxidation/disproportionation of benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde/toluene, where activity and selectivity between benzaldehyde and toluene varied, depending on the structure of VPG and the weight percentage loading of Pd0. The catalysts were stable and Pd leaching to liquid phase did not occur. The catalysts were separated and reused for five times without any significant decrease in the catalytic activity.
