2. 1. Oxygen Vacancy Chemistry in Ceria

   Author : Jolla Kullgren; Kersti Hermansson; Shluger Alex; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ceria; Density Functional Theory; Oxygen storage; Nano crystals; Sulfur poisoning; Chemistry with specialization in Inorganic Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : Cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2), ceria, is an active metal oxide used in solid oxide fuel cells and for the purification of exhaust gases in vehicle emissions control. Behind these technically important applications of ceria lies one overriding feature, namely ceria's exceptional reduction-oxidation properties. READ MORE

4. 2. Physisorption of CO and N2O on ceria surfaces

   Author : Carsten Müller; Kersti Hermansson; Konstantin Neyman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ceria; carbon monoxide; nitrous oxide; embedded cluster; physisorption; method of increments; CCSD T ; vibrational frequencies; Quantum chemistry; Kvantkemi; Quantum Chemistry; kvantkemi;

   Abstract : Physisorption of CO and N2O on surfaces of ceria (CeO2) was investigated by means of high-level quantum-mechanical embedded cluster calculations. Both systems have high relevance in the field of environmental chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis. READ MORE

5. 3. Catalysts for Car Exhaust: Oxygen Storage in Platinum/Ceria and Mass Transfer in Monoliths

   Abstract : Global warming is an unequivocal fact proved by the persistent rise of the average temperature of the earth. IPCC reported that scientists were more than 90 % certain that most of the global warming was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by human activities. READ MORE
