	abstract = {<p>Photocatalysts containing nanocrystallites of cadmium sulphide dispersed in the channels of mesoporous silicate SBA-15 exhibited enhanced activity for visible-light mediated splitting of water, as compared to bulk CdS. Whereas the incorporation of 1 wt.\% Pt co-catalyst in CdS/SBA-15 led to a substantial increase in H-2 yield, Au at similar loading resulted in marginally decreased activity. The results indicate that the photocatalytic activity of CdS crystallites is structure sensitive. Similarly, the role of a noble metal may be associated with the particle size dependent micro-structural features, rather than its electronic properties such as the work function or the heat of adsorption of reactant or product molecules.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The structure sensitivity of CO oxidation has been investigated on oxide-supported palladium nanoparticles of different morphologies. The reactivity of concave nanocubes and nanoflowers that expose {3 1 0} and {3 1 1} high-index facets showed a lower onset temperature for CO oxidation than Pd nanospheres of size around 6 nm. These concave nanocubes and nanoflowers were also found to catalyze the CO oxidation reaction more efficiently than simple cubes and spheres of similar size that exposed low-index facets. The enhanced activity of these nanoparticles compared with other morphologies are attributed to the presence of sites of under-coordination on the exposed high-index facets. The larger nanoparticles were also found to be more stable in the reaction environment. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</p>},
