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
Operando DRIFT spectroscopy was employed to investigate the intermediates involved in the oxidation of toluene on highly dispersed ceria nanoparticles supported on magnesium oxide hexagonal nanoplates. Small CeO 2 nanoparticles dispersed on magnesium oxide hexagonal nanoplates showed enhanced catalytic performance to total toluene combustion compared to a high surface area polycrystalline CeO 2. Selective identification of active surface species was carried out by combining concentration-modulation excitation spectroscopy (c-MES) experiments with phase-sensitive detection (PSD) spectral analysis and a chemometric multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) method. The results revealed a stepwise reaction pathway for toluene oxidation on the catalyst surface. Initially, toluene is molecularly adsorbed and reacts with surface oxygen species to produce intermediate benzyl (C 6 H 5 CH 2 - ). Next, benzyl is stepwise oxidized to benzyloxy/benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, and benzoate. Further oxidation of benzoate and the aromatic ring produces formate and carbonate species. On pure CeO 2, formates accumulate on the ceria surface, and only a minor part of them reacts to produce CO 2 (and CO). Instead, formates species are rapidly oxidized to CO 2 on the CeO 2 /MgO catalyst and do not accumulate on the surface, due to the enhanced redox capacity and higher presence of oxygen vacancies of the supported nanoparticles.
