An Experiment Simulating Titan’s Atmosphere, as Probed by a Hiden Mass Spectrometer
In the recent paper “An atmospheric origin for HCN-derived polymers on Titan” by Perrin et al. 2021 published in Processes MDPI, we highlighted that...
Low-temperature N2O decomposition catalysts
Nitrous oxide is known as a greenhouse gas and a severe contributor to ozone layer destruction, thus its decomposition into N2 and O2 is a topic of...
Dynamic structure of active sites in ceria-supported Pt catalysts for the water gas shift reaction
The WGS reaction (CO + H2O → CO2 + H2) is an essential processing step in the industrial production of synthesis gas—one used both to purify and to...
