• Beyond the Reverse Horiuti–Polanyi Mechanism in Propane Dehydrogenation over Pt Catalysts. 

      Xiao, Lin; Shan, , Y.-L; Sui, Zhi jun; Chen, De; Zhou, Xinggui; Yuan, Wei-kang; Zhu, Yi-an (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The catalytic dehydrogenation of light alkanes over Pt catalysts is generally accepted to follow a reverse Horiuti–Polanyi mechanism. Using a microkinetic analysis in combination with results from density functional theory ...
    • Origin of Chemisorption Energy Scaling Relations over Perovskite Surfaces 

      Li, Yang; Cheng, W; Sui, Zhi jun; Zhou, Xinggui; Chen, De; Yuan, Wei-kang; Zhu, Yi-an (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Rationally tailored perovskites ABO3 are promising substitutes for expensive noble-metal catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis. In this contribution, the BEEF-vdW + U method has been used to examine the adsorption of H, C, ...
