Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Modifying heterogeneous catalysts for supported cluster-based types is important to design catalysts with better activity, stability, and selectivity. Alloying Pd with Zn and supported by ZrO 2 is a promising way to design catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation to HCOOH, but the nature of the active catalytic sites and the mechanism remain unknown. Two representative models have been investigated: subnanometer cluster Pd 5 Zn/ZrO 2 and PdZn(101) surface. DFT calculations combined with microkinetic simulations are used to identify the optimum structure and configurations for the reaction. Compared to the PdZn(101) surface, the Pd 5 Zn/ZrO 2 offers much more stable adsorption and formation of intermediate species. Moreover, the formate route is more likely to proceed on PdZn(101) surface from the viewpoint of thermodynamic and kinetic. In contrast, the supported Pd 5 Zn/ZrO 2 cluster prefers the carboxyl pathway, where the interface site between cluster-support is ascribed to a far more stable configuration. Electronic structure analysis reveals the nature of the transition state on intermediate formation, particularly the role of Pd and Zn edge atoms on the selectivity towards the carboxyl pathway on Pd 5 Zn/ZrO 2. Finally, the comparison of microkinetic simulation results shows a preference for HCOOH formation on Pd 5 Zn/ZrO 2 than PdZn(101) surface at medium to higher temperature.
