Abstract
Electrification to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions is essential to mitigate climate change. However, a substantial portion of our manufacturing and transportation infrastructure will be difficult to electrify and/or will continue to use carbon as a key component, including areas in aviation, heavy-duty and marine transportation, and the chemical industry. In this Roadmap, we explore how multidisciplinary approaches will enable us to close the carbon cycle and create a circular economy by defossilizing these difficult-to-electrify areas and those that will continue to need carbon. We discuss two approaches for this: developing carbon alternatives and improving our ability to reuse carbon, enabled by separations. Furthermore, we posit that co-design and use-driven fundamental science are essential to reach aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets.

Abstract
"Single - atom" catalysts (SACs) have been the focus of intense research, due to debates about their reactivity and challenges toward determining and designing "single - atom" (SA) sites. To address the challenge, in this work, we designed Pt SACs supported on Gd-doped ceria (Pt/CGO), which showed improved activity for CO oxidation compared to its counterpart, Pt/ceria. The enhanced activity of Pt/CGO was associated with a new Pt SA site which appeared only in the Pt/CGO catalyst under CO pretreatment at elevated temperatures. Combined X-ray and optical spectroscopies revealed that, at this site, Pt was found to be d-electron rich and bridged with Gd-induced defects via an oxygen vacancy. As explained by density functional theory calculations, this site opened a new path via a dicarbonyl intermediate for CO oxidation with a greatly reduced energy barrier. These results provide guidance for rationally improving the catalytic properties of SA sites for oxidation reactions.

Abstract
The redox properties of titania films grown by ALD on SBA-15, a silica-based mesoporous material, were characterized as a function of thickness (that is, the number of ALD cycles used). 29Si CP/MAS NMR helped to identify the nature of the surface species that form in the initial stages of deposition, and infrared absorption spectroscopy was used to follow the transition from silica to titania surfaces. The reducibility of the titania sites by CO and H2 was studied ex situ using EPR and in situ with ambient-pressure XPS. It was determined that the titania ALD films are amorphous and easier to reduce than crystalline titania and that the reduction is reversible. A transition in the nature of the surface was also observed, with unique mixed Si-O-Ti sites forming during the first few ALD cycles and a more typical titania surface progressively developing as the film grows in thickness.

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
The efficient activation of methane and the simultaneous water dissociation are crucial in many catalytic reactions on oxide-supported transition metal catalysts. On very low-loaded Ni/CeO2 surfaces, methane easily fully decomposes, CH4 → C + 4H, and water dissociates, H2O→ OH + H. However, in important reactions such as the direct oxidation of methane to methanol (MTM), where complex interplay exists between reactants (CH4, O2), it is desirable to avoid the complete dehydrogenation of methane to carbon. Remarkably, the barrier for the activation of C-H bonds in CHx (x = 1-3) species on Ni/CeO2 surfaces can be manipulated by adding Cu, forming bimetallic NiCu clusters, whereas the ease for cleavage of O-H bonds in water is not affected by ensemble effects, as obtained from density functional theory-based calculations. CH4 activation occurs only on Ni sites, and H2O activation occurs on both Ni and Cu sites. The MTM reaction pathway for the example of the Ni3Cu1/CeO2 model catalyst predicts a higher selectivity and a lower activation barrier for methanol production, compared with that for Ni4/CeO2. These findings point toward a possible strategy to design active and stable catalysts which can be employed for methane activation and conversions.

Abstract
Reversing the thermal induced sintering phenomenon and forming high temperature stable fine dispersed metallic centers with unique structural and electronic properties is one of the ever-lasting targets of heterogeneous catalysis. Here we report that the dispersion of metallic Ni particles into under-coordinated two-dimensional Ni clusters over γ-Mo2N is a thermodynamically favorable process based on the AIMD simulation. A Ni-4nm/γ-Mo2N model catalyst is synthesized and used to further study the reverse sintering effect by the combination of multiple in-situ characterization methods, including in-situ quick XANES and EXAFS, ambient pressure XPS and environmental SE/STEM etc. The under-coordinated two-dimensional layered Ni clusters on molybdenum nitride support generated from the Ni-4nm/γ-Mo2N has been demonstrated to be a thermally stable catalyst in 50 h stability test in CO2 hydrogenation, and exhibits a remarkable catalytic selectivity reverse compared with traditional Ni particles-based catalyst, leading to a chemo-specific CO2 hydrogenation to CO.

Abstract
Because of the abundance of natural gas in our planet, a major goal is to achieve a direct methane-to-methanol conversion at medium to low temperatures using mixtures of methane and oxygen. Here, we report an efficient catalyst, ZnO/Cu2O/Cu(111), for this process investigated using a combination of reactor testing, scanning tunneling microscopy, ambient-pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, density functional calculations, and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The catalyst is capable of methane activation at room temperature and transforms mixtures of methane and oxygen to methanol at 450 K with a selectivity of ∼30%. This performance is not seen for other heterogeneous catalysts which usually require the addition of water to enable a significant conversion of methane to methanol. The unique coarse structure of the ZnO islands supported on a Cu2O/Cu(111) substrate provides a collection of multiple centers that display different catalytic activity during the reaction. ZnO-Cu2O step sites are active centers for methanol synthesis when exposed to CH4 and O2 due to an effective O-O bond dissociation, which enables a methane-to-methanol conversion with a reasonable selectivity. Upon addition of water, the defected O-rich ZnO sites, introduced by Zn vacancies, show superior behavior toward methane conversion and enhance the overall methanol selectivity to over 80%. Thus, in this case, the surface sites involved in a direct CH4 → CH3OH conversion are different from those engaged in methanol formation without water. The identification of the site-dependent behavior of ZnO/Cu2O/Cu(111) opens a design strategy for guiding efficient methane reformation with high methanol selectivity.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed supported catalysts hold considerable promise as catalytic materials. The ability to employ and stabilize them against aggregation in complex process environments remains a key challenge to the elusive goal of 100% atom utilization in catalysis. Herein, using a Gd-doped ceria support for atomically dispersed surface Pt atoms, we establish how the combined effects of aliovalent doping and oxygen vacancy generation provide dynamic mechanisms that serve to enhance the stability of supported single-atom configurations. Using correlated, in situ X-ray absorption, photoelectron, and vibrational spectroscopy methods for the analysis of samples on the two types of support (with and without Gd doping), we establish that the Pt atoms are located proximal to Gd dopants, forming a speciation that serves to enhance the thermal stability of Pt atoms against aggregation.

Abstract
The structures formed by the deposition of mass-selected niobium oxide clusters, Nb3Oy(y = 5, 6, 7), onto Au(111) were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. The as-deposited Nb3O7clusters assemble into large dendritic structures that grow on the terraces as well as extend from the top and bottom of step edges. The Nb3O6cluster also forms dendritic assemblies but they are generally much smaller in size. The assemblies are composed of smaller discrete structures (<1 nm) which are likely to be single clusters. The dendritic assemblies for both the Nb3O7and Nb3O6clusters have fractal dimensions of about 1.7 which is very close to that expected for simple diffusion limited aggregation. Annealing the Nb3O7,6/Au(111) surfaces up to 550 K results in changes in assembly sizes and increases in heights, while heating to 700 results in the disruption of the assemblies into smaller structures. By contrast, the as-deposited Nb3O5/Au(111) surface at RT exhibits compact cluster structures which become 3D nanoparticles when annealed above 550 K. Differences in the observed surface structures and thermal stability are attributed to differences in metal-oxygen stoichiometry which can influence cluster binding energies, mobility and inter-cluster interactions.

Abstract
To activate methane at low or medium temperatures is a difficult task and a pre-requisite for the conversion of this light alkane into high value chemicals. Herein, we report the preparation and characterizations of novel SnOx/Cu2O/Cu(111) interfaces that enable low-temperature methane activation. Scanning tunneling microscopy identified small, well-dispersed SnOx nanoclusters on the Cu2O/Cu(111) substrate with an average size of 8 Å, and such morphology was sustained up to 450 K in UHV annealing. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that hydrocarbon species (CHx groups), the product of methane activation, were formed on SnOx/Cu2O/Cu(111) at a temperature as low as 300 K. An essential role of the SnOx-Cu2O interface was evinced by the SnOx coverage dependence. Systems with a small amount of tin oxide, 0.1-0.2 ML coverage, produced the highest concentration of adsorbed CHx groups. Calculations based on density functional theory showed a drastic reduction in the activation barrier for C-H bond cleavage when going from Cu2O/Cu(111) to SnOx/Cu2O/Cu(111). On the supported SnOx, the dissociation of methane was highly exothermic (ΔE∼-35 kcal mol-1) and the calculated barrier for activation (∼20 kcal mol-1) could be overcome at 300-500 K, target temperatures for the conversion of methane to high value chemicals.

Abstract
![]()
Methane steam reforming
(MSR) plays a key role in the production
of syngas and hydrogen from natural gas. The increasing interest in
the use of hydrogen for fuel cell applications demands development
of catalysts with high activity at reduced operating temperatures.
Ni-based catalysts are promising systems because of their high activity
and low cost, but coke formation generally poses a severe problem.
Studies of ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS)
indicate that CH4/H2O gas mixtures react with
Ni/CeO2(111) surfaces to form OH, CHx, and CHxO at 300 K. All of these
species are easy to form and desorb at temperatures below 700 K when
the rate of the MSR process is accelerated. Density functional theory
(DFT) modeling of the reaction over ceria-supported small Ni nanoparticles
predicts relatively low activation barriers between 0.3 and 0.7 eV
for complete dehydrogenation of methane to carbon and the barrierless
activation of water at interfacial Ni sites. Hydroxyls resulting from
water activation allow for CO formation via a COH intermediate with
a barrier of about 0.9 eV, which is much lower than that through a
pathway involving lattice oxygen from ceria. Neither methane nor water
activation is a rate-determining step, and the OH-assisted CO formation
through the COH intermediate constitutes a low-barrier pathway that
prevents carbon accumulation. The interactions between Ni and the
ceria support and the low metal loading are crucial for the reaction
to proceed in a coke-free and efficient way. These results pave the
way for further advances in the design of stable and highly active
Ni-based catalysts for hydrogen production.

Abstract
Oxide-supported noble metal catalysts have been extensively studied for decades for the water gas shift (WGS) reaction, a catalytic transformation central to a host of large volume processes that variously utilize or produce hydrogen. There remains considerable uncertainty as to how the specific features of the active metal-support interfacial bonding—perhaps most importantly the temporal dynamic changes occurring therein—serve to enable high activity and selectivity. Here we report the dynamic characteristics of a Pt/CeO2 system at the atomic level for the WGS reaction and specifically reveal the synergistic effects of metal-support bonding at the perimeter region. We find that the perimeter Pt0 − O vacancy−Ce3+ sites are formed in the active structure, transformed at working temperatures and their appearance regulates the adsorbate behaviors. We find that the dynamic nature of this site is a key mechanistic step for the WGS reaction. Revealing the structure and dynamics of active sites is essential to understand catalytic mechanisms. Here the authors demonstrate the dynamic nature of perimeter Pt0−O vacancy−Ce3+ sites in Pt/CeO2 and the key effects of their dynamics on the mechanism of the water gas shift reaction.

Abstract
![]()
There
is an ongoing search for materials which can accomplish the
activation of two dangerous greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and
methane. In the area of C1 chemistry, the reaction between CO2 and CH4 to produce syngas (CO/H2),
known as methane dry reforming (MDR), is attracting a lot of interest
due to its green nature. On Pt(111), high temperatures must be used
to activate the reactants, leading to a substantial deposition of
carbon which makes this metal surface useless for the MDR process.
In this study, we show that strong metal–support interactions
present in Pt/CeO2(111) and Pt/CeO2 powders
lead to systems which can bind CO2 and CH4 well
at room temperature and are excellent and stable catalysts for the
MDR process at moderate temperature (500 °C). The behavior of
these systems was studied using a combination of in situ/operando methods (AP-XPS, XRD, and XAFS) which pointed to an active Pt-CeO2-x interface. In this interface, the
oxide is far from being a passive spectator. It modifies the chemical
properties of Pt, facilitating improved methane dissociation, and
is directly involved in the adsorption and dissociation of CO2 making the MDR catalytic cycle possible. A comparison of
the benefits gained by the use of an effective metal-oxide interface
and those obtained by plain bimetallic bonding indicates that the
former is much more important when optimizing the C1 chemistry associated
with CO2 and CH4 conversion. The presence of
elements with a different chemical nature at the metal-oxide interface
opens the possibility for truly cooperative interactions in the activation
of C–O and C–H bonds.

Abstract
The growth, sintering, and interaction of cobalt with ceria were studied under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by vapor-deposition of Co onto well-defined CeOx(111) (1.5 < x < 2) thin films grown on Ru(0001). Charge transfer from Co to ceria occurs upon deposition of Co on CeO1.96 and partially reduced CeO1.83 at 300 K. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies show that Co is oxidized to Co2+ species at the cost of the reduction of Ce4+ to Ce3+, at a lesser extent on reduced ceria. Co2+ is the predominant species on CeO1.96 at low Co coverages (e.g., ≤0.20 ML). The ratio of metallic Co/Co2+ increases with the increase in the Co coverage. However, both metallic Co and Co2+ species are present on CeO1.83 even at low Co coverages with metallic Co as the major species. Scanning tunneling microscopy results demonstrate that Co tends to wet the CeO1.96 surface at very low Co coverages at room temperature forming one-atomic layer high structures of Co-O-Ce. The increase in the Co coverage can cause the particle growth into three-dimensional structures. The formation of slightly flatter Co particles was observed on reduced CeO1.83. In comparison with other transition metals including Ni, Rh, Pt, and Au, our studies demonstrate that Co on ceria exhibits a smaller particle size and higher thermal stability, likely arising from strong metal-support interactions. The formed particles upon Co deposition at 300 K are present on the ceria surface after heating to 1000 K. The Co-ceria interface can be tuned by varying the Co metal coverage, the annealing temperature, and the nature of the ceria surface.

Abstract
Understanding mechanisms of decontamination of chemical warfare agents (CWA) is an area of intense research aimed at developing new filtration materials to protect soldiers and civilians in case of state-sponsored or terrorist attack. In this study, we employed complementary structural, chemical, and dynamic probes and in situ data collection, to elucidate the complex chemistry, capture, and decomposition of the CWA simulant, dimethyl chlorophosphonate (DMCP). Our work reveals key details of the reactive adsorption of DMCP and demonstrates the versatility of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) as a plausible material for CWA capture and decomposition. The in situ synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and pair distribution function (PDF) studies, combined with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), zinc K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and Raman spectroscopies, showed that the unique structure, chemical state, and topology of ZIF-8 enable accessibility, adsorption, and hydrolysis of DMCP into the pores and revealed the importance of linker chemistry and Zn2+ sites for nerve agent decomposition. DMCP decontamination and decomposition product(s) formation were observed by thermogravimetric analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, and phosphorus (P) K-edge XANES studies. Differential PDF analysis indicated that the average structure of ZIF-8 (at the 30 Å scale) remains unchanged after DMCP dosing and provided information on the dynamics of interactions of DMCP with the ZIF-8 framework. Using in situ PXRD and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), we showed that nearly 90% regeneration of the ZIF-8 structure and complete liberation of DMCP and decomposition products occur upon heating.

Abstract
The clean activation of methane at low temperatures remains an eminent challenge and a field of competitive research. In particular, on late transition metal surfaces such as Pt(111) or Ni(111), higher temperatures are necessary to activate the hydrocarbon molecule, but a massive deposition of carbon makes the metal surface useless for catalytic activity. However, on very low-loaded M/CeO2 (M = Pt, Ni, or Co) surfaces, the dissociation of methane occurs at room temperature, which is unexpected considering simple linear scaling relationships. This intriguing phenomenon has been studied using a combination of experimental techniques (ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, time-resolved X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy) and density functional theory-based calculations. The experimental and theoretical studies show that the size and morphology of the supported nanoparticles together with strong metal-support interactions are behind the deviations from the scaling relations. These findings point toward a possible strategy for circumventing scaling relations, producing active and stable catalysts that can be employed for methane activation and conversion.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy was used to establish direct evidence of heterometallic metal centers in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The Cu3(BTC)2 MOF HKUST-1 (BTC3- = benzenetricarboxylate) was transmetalated by heating it in a solution of RhCl3 to substitute Rh2+ ions for Cu2+ ions in the dinuclear paddlewheel nodes of the framework. In addition to the Cu-Cu and Rh-Rh stretching modes, Raman spectra of (CuxRh1-x)3(BTC)2 show the Cu-Rh stretching mode, indicating that mixed-metal Cu-Rh nodes are formed after transmetalation. Density functional theory studies confirmed the assignment of a Raman peak at 285 cm-1 to the Cu-Rh stretching vibration. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments further supported the conclusion that Rh2+ ions are substituted into the paddlewheel nodes of Cu3(BTC)2 to form an isostructural heterometallic MOF, and electron microscopy studies showed that Rh and Cu are homogeneously distributed in (CuxRh1-x)3(BTC)2 on the nanoscale.

Abstract
ConspectusThe abundance of cheap, natural gas has transformed the energy landscape, whereby revealing new possibilities for sustainable chemical technologies or impacting those that have relied on traditional fossil fuels. The primary component, methane, is underutilized and wastefully exhausted, leading to anthropogenic global warming. Historically, the manipulation of methane remained "clavis aurea," an insurmountable yet rewarding challenge and thus the focus of intense research. This is primarily due to an inability to dissociate C-H bonds in methane selectively, which requires a high energy penalty and is an essential prerequisite for the direct conversion of methane into a large set of value-added products. The discovery of such processes would promise an energy gainful use of natural gas benefiting several essential chemical processes associated with C1 chemistry. This first C-H bond dissociation step of the methane molecule appears in numerous catalytic mechanisms as the rate-determining step or most essential barrier sequence for all subsequent steps that follow in the production of C-C, C-O, or Cx-Hy-Oz bonds found in value added products. A main goal is to catalytically reduce the energy barrier for the first C-H bond dissociation to be able to achieve the activation of methane at low or moderate temperatures. As such there is great value in understanding the fundamental nature of the active sites responsible for bond breaking or formation and thus be able to facilitate better control of this chemistry, leading to the development of new technologies for fuel production and chemical conversion. Surface science studies offer enhanced perspectives for a careful manipulation of bonds over the last layer atoms of catalyst surfaces, an essential factor for the design of atomically precise catalysts and unravelling of the reaction mechanism. With the advent of new surface imaging, spectroscopy, and in situ tools, it has been possible to decipher the surface chemistry of complex materials systems and further our understanding of atomic active sites on the surfaces of metals, oxides, and carbides or metal-oxide and metal-carbide interfaces. The once considered near impossible step of C-H bond activation is now observed at low temperatures with high propensity over a collection of oxide, metal-oxide, and metal-carbide systems in a conventional or inverse configuration (oxide or carbide on metal). The enabling of C-H activation at low temperature has opened interesting possibilities for the specific production of chemicals such as methanol directly from methane, a step toward facile synthesis of liquid fuels. We highlight the most recent of these results and present the key aspects of active site configurations engineered from surface science studies which enable such a simple reactive event through careful manipulation of the last surface layer of atoms found in the catalyst structure. New concepts which help in the activation and conversion of methane are discussed.

Abstract
Highly selective oxidation of methane to methanol has long been challenging in catalysis. Here, we reveal key steps for the pro-motion of this reaction by water when tuning the selectivity of a well-defined CeO2/Cu2O/Cu(111) catalyst from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to methanol under a reaction environment with methane, oxygen, and water. Ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that water added to methane and oxygen led to surface methoxy groups and accelerated methanol production. These results were consistent with density functional theory calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, which showed that water preferentially dissociates over the active cerium ions at the CeO2-Cu2O/Cu(111) interface. The adsorbed hydroxyl species blocked O-O bond cleavage that would dehydrogenate methoxy groups to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and it directly converted this species to methanol, while oxygen reoxidized the reduced surface. Water adsorption also displaced the produced methanol into the gas phase.

Abstract
This Review summarizes the recent progress made in the field of chemical threat reduction by utilizing new in situ analytical techniques and combinations thereof to study multifunctional materials designed for capture and decomposition of nerve gases and their simulants. The emphasis is on the use of in situ experiments that simulate realistic operating conditions (solid-gas interface, ambient pressures and temperatures, time-resolved measurements) and advanced synchrotron methods, such as in situ X-ray absorption and scattering methods, a combination thereof with other complementary measurements (e.g., XPS, Raman, DRIFTS, NMR), and theoretical modeling. The examples presented in this Review range from studies of the adsorption and decomposition of nerve agents and their simulants on Zr-based metal organic frameworks to Nb and Zr-based polyoxometalates and metal (hydro)oxide materials. The approaches employed in these studies ultimately demonstrate how advanced synchrotron-based in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and diffraction can be exploited to develop an atomic- level understanding of interfacial binding and reaction of chemical warfare agents, which impacts the development of novel filtration media and other protective materials.

Abstract
Indium oxide has received attention as an exciting candidate for catalyzing the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol due to its high selectivity (>80%). Compared to the extent of research on the activity of indium oxide-based powder catalysts, very little is known about the phenomena associated with the formation of surface alloys involving indium or the growth mechanism for indium oxide nanoparticles. In this report, scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to elucidate the growth mode, structure, and chemical state of In/Au(111) alloys and InOx/Au(111) inverse model catalysts. Our study reveals distinct morphological differences between In/Au(111) and InOx/Au(111), and the InOx structure also depends strongly on the preparation conditions. In/Au surface alloy systems with extremely low coverage (0.02 ML) form islands preferentially on the elbow sites of reconstructed Au(111) herringbone, regardless of hexagonally closed packed and face centered cubic stacking. At higher coverage (0.1 ML), the In islands expand over the herringbone in the ⟨110⟩ direction and create two dimensional domain structures over the entire surfaces. Moreover, this 2D domain structure is disturbed by temperature with high dispersion of indium atoms observed during the annealing process. Oxidation of the In/Au(111) surface alloys with O2 at 550 K produces InOx/Au(111) systems which contain various sizes of InOx aggregates (from 0.7 nm to 10 nm). On the other hand, InOx/Au(111) surfaces prepared by vapor deposition of In at 550 K in an O2 background exhibit highly dispersed and uniformly small InOx particles (∼1 nm). Both InOx systems were confirmed to be partially oxidized by XPS.

Abstract
We report the first study of a gas-phase reaction catalyzed by highly dispersed sites at the metal nodes of a crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF). Specifically, CuRhBTC (BTC3- =benzenetricarboxylate) exhibited hydrogenation activity, while other isostructural monometallic and bimetallic MOFs did not. Our multi-technique characterization identifies the oxidation state of Rh in CuRhBTC as +2, which is a Rh oxidation state that has not previously been observed for crystalline MOF metal nodes. These Rh2+ sites are active for the catalytic hydrogenation of propylene to propane at room temperature, and the MOF structure stabilizes the Rh2+ oxidation state under reaction conditions. Density functional theory calculations suggest a mechanism in which hydrogen dissociation and propylene adsorption occur at the Rh2+ sites. The ability to tailor the geometry and ensemble size of the metal nodes in MOFs allows for unprecedented control of the active sites and could lead to significant advances in rational catalyst design.

Abstract
Combining experimental spectroscopy and hybrid density functional theory calculations, we show that the incorporation of fluoride ions into a prototypical reducible oxide surface, namely, ceria(111), can induce a variety of nontrivial changes to the local electronic structure, beyond the expected increase in the number of Ce3+ ions. Our resonant photoemission spectroscopy results reveal new states above, within, and below the valence band, which are unique to the presence of fluoride ions at the surface. With the help of hybrid density functional calculations, we show that the different states arise from fluoride ions in different atomic layers in the near surface region. In particular, we identify a structure in which a fluoride ion substitutes for an oxygen ion at the surface, with a second fluoride ion on top of a surface Ce4+ ion giving rise to F 2p states which overlap the top of the O 2p band. The nature of this adsorbate F--Ce4+ resonant enhancement feature suggests that this bond is at least partially covalent. Our results demonstrate the versatility of anion doping as a potential means of tuning the valence band electronic structure of ceria.

Abstract
Development of technologies for protection against chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is critically important. Recently, polyoxometalates have attracted attention as potential catalysts for nerve-agent decomposition. Improvement of their effectiveness in real operating conditions requires an atomic-level understanding of CWA decomposition at the gas-solid interface. We investigated decomposition of the nerve agent Sarin and its simulant, dimethyl chlorophosphate (DMCP), by zirconium polytungstate. Using a multimodal approach, we showed that upon DMCP and Sarin exposure the dimeric tungstate undergoes monomerization, making coordinatively unsaturated Zr(IV) centers available, which activate nucleophilic hydrolysis. Further, DMCP is shown to be a good model system of reduced toxicity for studies of CWA deactivation at the gas-solid interface.
