N-2 and H2O are the major products observed, along with NH3 and N2O minor products under all conditions studied. Particular attention has been paid to the influence of O-2 addition toward NO dissociation. Although O-2-rich compositions were found to inhibit the deNO(x) activity of the Pd catalyst, some enhancement in NO reduction to N-2 was also observed up to a certain O-2 content. The reason for this behavior was determined to be the effective consumption of the H-2 in the mixture by the added O-2 and O atoms from NO dissociation. NO was proven to compete favorably against O-2 for the consumption of H-2, especially &amp;lt;= 550 K, to produce N-2 and H2O. Compared with other elementary reaction steps, a slow decay observed with the 2H + 0 -&amp;gt; H2O step under SS beam oscillation conditions demonstrates its contribution to the rate-limiting nature of the overall reaction. Pd(111) surfaces modified with O atoms in the subsurface (Md-Pd(111)) induces steady-state NO reduction at near-ambient temperatures (325 K) and opens up a possibility to achieve room temperature emission control. A 50% increase in the reaction rates was observed at the reaction maximum on Md-Pd(111), as compared with virgin surfaces. Oxygen adsorption is severely limited below 400 K, and effective NO + H-2 reaction occurs on Md-Pd(111) surfaces. Valence band photoemission with a UV light source (He I) under different oxygen pressures with APPES clearly identified the characteristics of the Md-Pd(111) surfaces and PdO. The electron-deficient or cationic nature of Md-Pd(111) surfaces enhances the NO dissociation and inhibits oxygen chemisorption &amp;lt;= 400 K under lean-burn conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.964</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gopinath, Chinnakonda S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roy, Kanak</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nagarajan, Sankaranarayanan</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Can we shift and/or broaden the catalysis regime towards ambient temperature?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ChemCatChem</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">heterogeneous catalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">photoelectron spectroscopy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">surface chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">surface modification</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BOSCHSTRASSE 12, D-69469 WEINHEIM, GERMANY</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">588-594</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;An attempt was made to shift the temperature regime of oxidation catalysis towards ambient temperatures by employing surface modification (SM) as a handle. Systematic SM of Pd(111) was performed by O-atom diffusion into the subsurfaces. Virgin and modified Pd(111) catalysts were evaluated for CO oxidation. Typical CO poisoning observed on virgin surfaces was partially lifted, and ambient CO oxidation was observed on the modified surfaces. CO oxidation was followed by the molecular beam method and near-ambient pressure (NAP) photoelectron spectroscopy under different pressure regimes. UV valence band spectral analysis of the SM and the CO+O-2 reaction on modified Pd(111) surfaces under NAP conditions demonstrated changes in the electronic structures of the surfaces with a change in surface potential by 0.35eV and directly probed CO2 formation under the reaction conditions. Supported metal catalysts may be subjected to SM and evaluated for a shift in the catalysis regime for many different reactions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;4.724&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nalajala, Naresh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salgaonkar, Kranti N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chauhan, Inderjeet</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mekala, Siva Prasad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gopinath, Chinnakonda S.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aqueous methanol to formaldehyde and hydrogen on Pd/TiO2 by photocatalysis in direct sunlight: structure dependent activity of nano-Pd and atomic Pt-coated counterparts</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACS Applied Energy Materials</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">heterogeneous catalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanomaterials</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Photocatalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">surface modification</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13347-13360</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In the present investigation, facet-controlled Pd nanoparticles with nanocube (Pd-NC) and truncated octahedron (Pd-TO) morphologies, and their counterparts with half-a-monolayer of atomic Pt coated (0.5 theta(Pt)-Pd-NC and 0.5 theta(Pt)-Pd-TO) surfaces were prepared. All of them were characterized and evaluated as cocatalyst after supporting them on commercial titania (P25) (Pd-NC/P25, Pd-TO/P25, 0.5 theta(Pt)-Pd-NC/P25, and 0.5 theta(Pt)-Pd-TO/P25) under direct sunlight and/or one sun conditions for the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde along with solar hydrogen production. Pd-NC/P25 shows higher activity for hydrogen generation compared to Pd-TO/P25; however, activity reversal occurs with the above cocatalysts, but, after Pt-coating with further enhanced activity. The highest conversion of methanol (0.2 mu mol/h.mg) to 100% selective formaldehyde was observed with 0.5 theta(Pt)-Pd-TO/P25, while other catalysts show significantly lower methanol conversion in the following order: 0.5 theta(Pt)-Pd-TO/P25 &gt; 0.5 theta(Pt)-Pd-NC/P25 &gt; Pd-NC/P25 &gt; Pd-TO/P25. Pt-coated on (111) facets of Pd-TO simulates the activity associated as that of Pt(111) facets and demonstrating the highest and facet dependent activity. The present study is truly in resonance with exploiting the surface properties for heterogeneous catalysis, and highlights that less than a monolayer of Pt is sufficient to simulate the activity as that of bulk Pt. It is worth exploring this concept to other metals and substrates too.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.024</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
