Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
When going from periodic surfaces to isolated clusters or nanoparticles, there is a big increase in the reactivity of Au and Cu toward SO. Density functional calculations indicate that the enhancement in the SO2 adsorption energy is due to the presence of corner sites (i.e., metal atoms with a low coordination number) and the fluxionality of the nanoparticles. Therefore, small Au particles bind SO2 stronger than a periodic Au(100) surface. However, the S ↔ Au and O ↔ Au interactions are not strong enough to induce the rupture of the S-O bonds. In contrast, the dissociation of SO on Cu particles is a very exothermic process, even more exothermic than on a periodic Cu(100) surface. Experiments of synchrotron-based high-resolution photoemission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy show big differences in the DeSOx activity of Au and Cu nanoparticles dispersed on MgO(100) and CeO(111). The heat of adsorption of the SO on Au nanoparticles supported on MgO(100) or CeO(111) was 0.2 to 0.4 eV larger than on Au(100) with negligible dissociation of the molecule. The full decomposition of SO was observed only after O vacancies were introduced in the ceria support. The O vacancies in ceria either played a direct role in the dissociation of SO (cracking of the molecule at the oxide-metal interface) or enhanced the chemical activity of the supported Au nanoparticles. The addition of Cu particles to MgO(100) or CeO(111) generates systems that are extremely active for the destruction of SO . At 100-150 K, the SO adsorbs molecularly on the supported Cu particles. Heating to temperatures above 200 K leads to massive dissociation of the SO. A comparison of the behavior of SO on Cu/MgO(100) and Cu/CeO-(111) shows how important the reducibility of the oxide support in DeSOx operations can be. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
