Project results evaluation
Growth of inverse ceria catalysts on Cu and Ru was investigated. Discontinuous ceria layers on Cu(111) have been used as inverse catalyst for water-gas shift reaction and methanol and CO oxidation reactions. The results contributed to elucidation of cerium oxide interaction with Ni and Cu.Ab-initio calculations allowed us to trace back the distinct properties of the first ceria monolayer.
