On April 3rd, a collaborative study led by Professor Guo Yanbing from the School of Chemistry, together with researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Dalian University of Technology, was published online in Science. The paper, titled "Formation of Hydrided Pt-Ce-H Sites in Efficient, Selective Oxidation Catalysts", marks a paradigm shift in the theoretical understanding of active sites in heterogeneous catalysis.
This research proposes a new mechanism for regulating the activity and selectivity of oxidation catalysts, while establishing a new theory of hydrogenation site formation and catalytic processes. These findings provide atomic-scale insights into active sites, catalytic performance, and reaction mechanisms of heterogeneous catalysts, while offering innovative approaches for designing high performance environmental and energy catalysts. Prof. Guo Yanbing serves as co-corresponding author, with PhD student Zhang Biluan as co-first author.
In recent years, Prof. Guo's team has made significant contributions to air pollution control chemistry, particularly in addressing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO. Over the past five years, the team has published more than 40 papers in internationally renowned journals as corresponding authors, including:
Science (1)
Journal of the American Chemical Society (2)
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (1)
Nature Communications (2)
Angewandte Chemie International Edition (4)
Environmental Science & Technology (8)
These publications have provided crucial theoretical support for the technological innovations in atmospheric pollution control and catalytic purification.
