Sintering of Supported Metal Catalysts

Strong interactions in supported-metal catalysts.

Many commercially important catalysts consist of small metal particles dispersed on inorganic oxide surfaces. Although in most cases there is no significant interaction between the metal and the support, strong bonding can be demonstrated in a recently discovered class of supported-metal catalysts. These cases typically involve group VIII metals dispersed on transition metal oxides whose surfac...

Molecular Design of Supported Metal Oxide Catalysts

This study demonstrates that molecular design of supported metal oxide catalysts is possible from molecular level information obtained from combined Raman spectroscopy and the methanol oxidation reaction. The important factors that influence the molecular design of the supported metal oxide catalysts are the specific oxide support (factor of -10,) and the specific sur-face metal oxide (factor o...

Olefin Metathesis by Supported Metal Oxide Catalysts

The literature of olefin metathesis by heterogeneous supported catalysts, both industrial-type supported metal oxides (ReOx/Al2O3, ReOx/(SiO2−Al2O3), MoOx/SiO2, MoOx/Al2O3, MoOx/(SiO2−Al2O3), WOx/SiO2, and WOx/ (SiO2−Al2O3)) and supported organometallic complexes, is comprehensively reviewed. The focus of this Review is supported metal oxide catalysts, but the well-defined supported organometal...
