One of our recent paper, “Hydroxyl-mediated Non-oxidative Propane Dehydrogenation over VOx/Al2O3 Catalysts with Promoted Stability“, is highlighted by Chemical & Engineering News (ACS) and Advanced Science News! Link to Chemical & Engineering News (ACS): Watching vanadium catalysts dehydrogenate propane […]

The intrinsic errors due to functionals are always a concern on the reliability of the predicted catalytic performance by density functional theory. We show a probability-based computational screening study, which has successfully identified an optimal […]

Supported vanadium oxides are one of the most promising alternative catalysts for propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and massive efforts have been made to improve its catalytic performance. However, unlike Pt‐based catalysts, the nature of the active […]

Our recent publication “Participation of Interfacial Hydroxyl Groups in the Water-Gas Shift Reaction over Au/MgO Catalysts. Catal. Sci. Technol. 2017, 7, 5257-5266  http://doi.org/10.1039/C7CY01020F” is selected as 2017 HOT article from the Catalysis Science & Technology Editorial Board

An article was nominated to be one of the publications recently chosen by the Editors of Surface Science to be highlighted in Editors’ Choice. Identification of surface species by vibrational normal mode analysis. A DFT […]

The CO poison is one of the major problems for Pt based catalytic processes. We showed that the CO binding strength over PtCu alloy (111) surfaces strongly depend on the Pt local structure, where surface […]

Light alkenes are widely used feedstocks for many chemical processes such as the production of polymers, oxygenates and other important chemical intermediates. Currently, light alkenes are mainly produced in petrochemical industry by steam creaking. As […]
