Heterogeneous catalytic oxidation : a theoretical study

Methane activation over molybdenum trioxide and gold catalysts supported on magnesium oxide were studied employing state of the art computational modelling. The localisation of electrons at a terminal oxygen point defect on MoO3(010) was well represented by DFT+U whereas conventional DFT failed to l...
