A series of cerium phosphate catalysts with different crystal phases were synthesized by hydrothermal method and co-precipitation method. Hexagonal cerium phosphate (CePO4-H) shows better NH3-SCR denitration activity than monoclinic cerium phosphate (CePO4-M) and mixed phases of CePO4-H and CePO4-M. Moreover, CePO4-H also exhibits excellent activity stability with stream time and cycle used stability. Various characterizations were carried out to explain the effects of different crystal phases of CePO4 on the activity. Among these catalysts, CePO4-H has much stronger surface acidity that is conducive to the adsorption and activation of NH3, and more surface adsorbed oxygen species that can effectively improve SCR activity. In situ DRIFTS were performed to investigate the adsorption and reaction of NH3 and NOx on CePO4-H and CePO4-M, and the results suggest that the better activity over CePO4-H follows mainly the E-R mechanism in the activity temperature window (300–500 oC) with 100% NO conversion.

It is highly desirable but quite challenging to replace precious metals with cheaper elements in the catalytic selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes. Herein, we report the preparation of a series of CuxNi3-xAlOy mixed-metal oxides (x = 0.5, 1, 2) derived from CuxNi3-xAl hydrotalcite to be used as catalysts for the promotion of the selective hydrogenation of furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alcohol (FOL). It was found that the catalyst with the Cu2Ni1AlOy stoichiometry exhibited the best performance, with 98% FAL conversion and 99% selectivity toward FOL after 1.5 h at 120 °C and under a H2 pressure of 1.6 MPa, and also good reusability. On the basis of the combined results from catalyst characterization studies using XRD, H2-TPR, TEM, XPS, and in-situ FT-IR, it was concluded that the CuOx species on the surface of the CuxNi3-xAlOy catalysts can be reduced in situ to metallic copper during reaction, and that this Cu0 species is likely the responsible for the adsorption and conversion of FAL. The addition of Ni to these mixed-metal oxides helps disperse the Cu phase and hence make it easier to reduce and activate. It may also be that NiO can promote H2 dissociation to aid with the hydrogenation catalysis. Our work advances a new strategy for the design of simple, cheap, and efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of FAL to FOL.

Catalytic oxidation is considered a high-efficient method to minimize efficiently toluene emission. It is still a challenge to improve the catalytic performance for toluene oxidation by modifying the surface properties to enhance the oxidation ability of catalyst. Herein, a series of CuaCo1−aOx (a = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) catalysts were synthesized via solvothermal method and applied for toluene oxidation. The effects of the Cu/Co ratio on the texture structure, morphology, redox property and surface properties were investigated by various characterization technologies. The Cu0.4Co0.6Ox catalyst with dumbbell-shaped flower structure exhibited much lower temperature of 50% and 100% toluene conversion and far higher reaction rate (13.96 × 10−2 μmol·g−1·s−1) at 220 °C than the Co based oxides in previous reports. It is found that the good activity can be attributed to the fact that the proper Cu/Co ratio can significantly improve the formation of more surface adsorbed oxygen and Co3+ species, leading to the much higher oxidation ability came from the strong interaction between Cu and Co oxides. It is suggested that toluene should be oxidized more rapidly to CO2 and H2O over the Cu0.4Co0.6Ox catalyst than Co3O4 based on the results of in situ DRIFTS.

The addition of a suitable co-catalyst is an encouraging way to enhance the catalytic performance of Pd based catalyst with low content. Herein, we describe an easy synthesis of Mo2N-TiO2 with well-dispersed Mo2N nanoparticles through one pot evaporation-induced self-assembly and nitridation treatment method. Moreover, a green bio-reductive approach with Catalpa Fruit (CF) extract was adopted to fabricate Pd/Mo2N-TiO2 catalysts for promoting selective hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) as model reaction. Among these Pd/Mo2N-TiO2 catalysts, 0.8 wt%Pd/Mo2N-TiO2 exhibits significantly high catalytic activity for selective hydrogenation of various nitrophenols and cinnmaldehyde. Importantly, the catalytic activity of the catalyst prepared by the reduction method of the CF extract is higher than that prepared by the reduction method of NaBH4. A serials of characterization, including XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, TEM, XPS, CO chemisorption and CO-FTIR etc., was carried out to investigate the influence of the prepared method on the surface Pd species and activity. The high performance can be attributed to the specific nanostructure characteristics of the catalyst and the good synergistic effect between Pd and Mo2N, improving the dispersion of Pd nanoparticles atoms and the exposure of more active Pd atoms (surface Pd0 species) on 0.8 wt%Pd/Mo2N-TiO2 due to the CF extract as reductant.

In this paper, the pressure of a potential via the dynamics of preimage structure are investigated for noninvertible systems and the properties for the related equilibrium states are considered. For a continuous map on a compact metric space, a notion of preimage pressure via the preimages of single points is introduced, and then some fundamental properties are considered and a variational principle is established for the system with uniform separation of preimages. For a C 1 -partially hyperbolic endomorphism on a closed Riemannian manifold, a notion of stable pressure via the preimages of local stable manifolds is introduced and a corresponding variational principle is established. Moreover, equilibrium states and tangent functionals for pointwise preimage pressures and stable pressures are also considered. By describing the set of equilibrium states and tangent functionals and a sense of continuous dependence of equilibrium states with respect to the potential, we prove that the continuous potentials with unique equilibrium state form a dense G δ set. In addition, for any finite collection of ergodic measures, we can find a continuous potential such that its set of equilibrium states contains the given set.

The adsorption and delivery of reactants to active sites are the first two steps of catalytic reactions, however, which receive less attention compared with the design of highly active sites. Herein, we provide an improvement of the two crucial steps by designing perovskite oxides-carbon composites (LaFeO3_N) for catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. The principle is to ensure that the reactants can be timely supplied to the active sites for reaction. Indeed, the reaction rate over LaFeO3_N increases tremendously to 5.17 mmol g−1 h−1 that is 6 times higher than that over LaFeO3_A (0.81 mmol g−1 h−1) without carbon material. The results suggest that LaFeO3_N can improve the migration of reactants from solution to LaFeO3 active sites due to the presence of carbon, which has the ability to absorb and deliver the reactants. Effects of carbon content and carbon texture on the reaction are fully investigated. The current strategy of improving the catalytic performances of perovskite oxides can be easily applied to other catalytic systems with low surface area.

MoaMnTi10Ox (a= 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) catalysts have been prepared by sol-gel and applied in the NH3-SCR of NO reaction. These catalysts were characterized by XRD, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, XPS and in situ DRIFTS. Among the MoaMnTi10Ox catalysts, Mo0.6MnTi10Ox exhibits the excellent NH3-SCR performance with a broaden activity temperature window even in presence of 5 vol.% H2O, together with an excellent resistance of H2O and SO2. Compared with MnTi10Ox, the Mo addition leads to the reduction of redox ability, improvement of the surface acid sites and inhibition of NO adsorption. A serial of characterizations confirms that the synergistic effect between redox property and surface acidity plays a key role in the much better NH3-SCR activity over Mo0.6MnTi10Ox. Furthermore, the in situ DRIFTS studies reveal the NH3-SCR reaction is following the E-R mechanism over Mo0.6MnTi10Ox at 210 °C. In addition, the effects of H2O on the NH3-SCR reaction are investigated by in situ DRIFTS.

Hydrogen is the most desirable green energy carrier and electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from water is a promising route for hydrogen production. The search for efficient, low-cost HER catalysts is a challenging and attracting topic. In this work, we report that inorganic fullerene-like WS2 supported Pd nanoparticles (Pd/WS2), with Pd loading of 0.76 wt%, are active for electrocatalytic HER conducted in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution, with overpotential at 10 mA cm−2 current density of ~130 mV and Tafel slope of 82.4 mV dec−1, which is comparable to that of Pt/WS2 (0.88 wt% Pt loading) with higher costs. Characteristic results indicate that WO3 impurities were in-situ produced on the WS2 surface and the Pd NPs are primarily located inside the WS2 nanocages. Contrasting experiments suggest that the WO3 impurities play a crucial role in generating Hads intermediate and the Pd NPs are active sites of H2 production, and a reaction mechanism is proposed. The Pd/WS2 catalyst also shows good long-term stability owing to the location of Pd NPs inside the WS2 cages. The high HER activity, low costs and good stability make the Pd catalyst a potential alternative to Pt catalyst for HER.

Context Lack of knowledge or misconceptions about palliative care (PC) can serve as barriers to accessing PC for seriously ill patients. Although self-reported rates of PC knowledge have been increasing, little is known about how self-reports relate to actual PC knowledge. Objective To determine the prevalence of PC knowledge and the portion of those reporting they are knowledgeable have actual PC knowledge of basic PC principals. Methods We used the Health Information National Trends Survey 5, Cycle 2, a nationally representative data set to describe the prevalence of self-reported PC knowledge. We conducted chi-squared test to compare self-rated PC knowledge level with actual knowledge. Finally, we ran a logistic regression to examine if self-reported knowledge level, age, and cancer history were associated with actual PC knowledge. Results About 34% of participants self-reported having at least some knowledge of PC, and 41% of those reporting familiarities with PC were able to answer all three basic PC questions correctly. Rates of correct responses for cancer patients were similar (42%) to the general sample and older adults were lower (35%). Compared with those with less than a high school education, people with a bachelor's degree and post-baccalaureate degree had higher odds ratio (21.07 and 23.07, respectively) of actual understanding of PC. Conclusions We found that self-reported PC knowledge may not reflect actual PC knowledge. Physicians should carefully explain PC when introducing it to patients. In addition, this PC information should be provided at a low literacy level to ensure widespread understanding of the service.

A series of tungsten-modified Cu0.02Fe0.2TiOx catalysts (Cu0.02Fe0.2WaTiOx; a = 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03) was synthesized by sol-gel method. Their catalytic activities were investigated for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3, in the presence/absence of 5 vol.% H2O. The characterization techniques of XRD, BET, Raman, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, XPS, in situ DRIFTS, and kinetic studies were used to reveal the effect of tungsten modification on the redox and acidity of the Cu0.02Fe0.2WaTiOx catalysts. The relationship among the species composition, acid property, and oxidation-reduction behavior of the Cu0.02Fe0.2WaTiOx catalysts was established. Results demonstrated that a moderate amount of tungsten doping can markedly enhance the specific surface area, improve the abundant Bronsted and Lewis acid sites, and tune the surface species composition, which all benefited high-performance catalysis. Water/sulfur resistance also improved because of the excellent acidity levels. Among the Cu0.02Fe0.2WaTiOx catalysts, Cu0.02Fe0.2W0.02TiOx showed the highest NO conversion, a wide reaction-temperature window (235–520 °C) with >90% NO conversion, high N2 selectivity, and high water/sulfur resistance even in the presence of 5 vol.% H2O. Moreover, Cu0.02Fe0.2W0.02TiOx retained its outstanding catalytic activity under a rather high gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 100,000 h−1. In conclusion, the combined effects of redox and sufficient acidities on catalytic activity played key roles in superior SCR performance and water/sulfur durability. Furthermore, the NH3-SCR reaction over Cu0.02Fe0.2W0.02TiOx may follow the Eley–Rideal reaction pathway according to the in situ DRIFTS and kinetic studies results.

The design of a stable and efficient catalyst is crucial to the creation of high-valued bio-based products, and the catalytic selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has received increasing attention. Different loadings of Au supported on the graphitized carbon (GC) catalysts (xwt%Au/GC (x = 0.7, 1.0, 1.3, 2.0 and 2.7)) were prepared and characterized via ICP-OES, N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, FT-IR, TG, XPS and TEM. Results show that 2.0 wt%Au/GC displays 97% selectivity of FDCA and a near 100% conversion of 5-HMF in water under 7 bar O2 pressure for 6 h at 110 °C in the presence of NaOH, which also exhibits good cycling stability. The surface species of Au0 are in favor of the formation of FDCA. In this work, different reaction parameters were explored to optimize the reaction condition. The intermediates and the reaction pathways were also proposed on the basis of the formation and degradation of esters via various characterizations.

A series of CeaMnOx hollow microsphere like arbutus with hierarchical structure are prepared by redox co-precipitation method and applied for catalytic toluene combustion. The Ce0.03MnOx shows a better catalytic performance for toluene combustion with high stability, water resistance, even under the condition of 5vol.% H2O. The results of XRF, XRD, Raman, N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, TEM prove that the doping of Ce can affect the structure of CeaMnOx such as much smaller particle size and higher specific surface area. The characterizations of H2-TPR, O2-TPD, XPS certify the strong interaction between Ce and Mn oxides that leads to more surface adsorbed oxygen and Mn4+ species due to oxidation reduction cycle of Mn3+ + Ce4+ ↔ Mn4+ + Ce3+ after Ce addition. Meanwhile, the Toluene-TPD in different conditions confirms the introduction of water promoted the catalytic oxidation of toluene. In situ DRIFTS is used to investigate the reaction process of toluene oxidation. And the results reveal that the Ce0.03MnOx catalyst has much stronger ability to adsorb and activate toluene compared with MnOx catalyst, especially under with H2O. That may be the main reason that the Ce0.03MnOx catalyst exhibits the special catalytic activity for toluene combustion.

A series of Ce0.1TiOx, Cu0.1Ox and CumCe0.1-mTiOx (m = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) catalysts are prepared via a sol-gel method for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3. The samples are mainly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, separated NO/NH3 oxidation, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) to investigate the properties of the catalysts. Among the CumCe0.1-mTiOx (m = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) catalysts, Cu0.01Ce0.09TiOx displays much better catalytic activity in the range of 170 °C–425 °C (> 90% NO conversion), N2 selectivity and resistance of SO2 and H2O even at high gas hourly space velocity. The XPS results verify that the introduction of Cu leads to a copper species enrichment environment and the formation of more surface Ce3+ and absorbed oxygen (Oα), which are in favor of the oxidation of NO to NO2, enhancing the activity at low temperature. Furthermore, in situ DRIFTS results confirm that the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism is predominant in the NH3-SCR process for the Cu0.01Ce0.09TiOx catalyst at 150 °C.

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) represents a most grave healthy burden worldwide. TESTIN has been confirmed as a predictive biomarker for several cancers. In the present study, we sought to assess the expression level and prognostic values of TESTIN in CRC.The levels of TESTIN mRNA and protein were detected in 132 paired CRC tissues and noncancerous ones via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays, respectively. Chi-square test was adopted to analyze the association of TESTIN expression with clinicopathological profiles of CRC patients. To explore prognostic value of TESTIN, Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression analyses were employed.TESTIN expression was down-regulated among CRC tissues in comparison to bordering cancer-free samples at both protein and mRNA levels (P 0.001). Decreased TESTIN expression was closely related to poor tumor differentiation (P = 0.001) and advanced TNM stages (P = 0.001). CRC cases with low expression of TESTIN were more likely to undergo dismal overall survivals (log-rank P = 0.003). Multivariate Cox analysis unveiled that down-regulated expression of TESTIN was independently correlated with poor prognosis (HR=2.422, 95% CI=1.294-4.535, P = 0.006).The down-regulation of TESTIN may predict dismal prognosis for CRC patients.

Citric acid method was employed to prepare a series of Nb-promoted Fex-Nb0.5-x-Ce0.5 (x = 0.45, 0.4, 0.35) oxides for selective catalytic reduction with NH3 (NH3-SCR) of NO process. The structure, redox ability and reactivity of NH3 and absorbed NO species on the catalysts were explored by using various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature program reduction with H2 (H2-TPR), temperature program desorption of NH3 (NH3-TPD), temperature program desorption of NO (NO-TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS). It was found that the Nb promoted Fex-Nb0.5-x-Ce0.5 (x = 0.45, 0.4, 0.35) oxides catalysts showed outstanding NH3-SCR of NO activity, excellent N2 selectivity and remarkable SO2/H2O resistance, meanwhile, Fe0.4-Nb0.1-Ce0.5 exhibited above 90% NO conversion in the range of 180–400 °C, together with near 100% N2 selectivity. The characterization results point out that the excellent catalytic performance of Fe0.4-Nb0.1-Ce0.5 can be ascribed to the strong interaction among Nb, Fe and Ce oxides. The strong interaction not only increases the BET surface area and redox ability of the catalyst, but also significantly improves the acid amount leading to the enhancement of the adsorption and activation of NH3, which is advantage of the reactivity of adsorbed nitrate together with the adsorbed NH3 species.

A series of Co0.2CexMn0.8-xTi10 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.25, 0.35 and 0.40) oxides catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method and used for NH3-SCR. These catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, SEM-EDS, H2-TPR, NO/NH3 oxidation, NH3 (NO and SO2)-TPD, XPS and in situ DRIFTS. It was found that the Co0.2Ce0.35Mn0.45Ti10 catalyst showed excellent NH3-SCR activity and a broaden temperature window (180–390 °C), accompanied with good resistance to SO2 and H2O. It could be concluded that the redox ability of Co0.2Ce0.35Mn0.45Ti10 could be reduced by Co and Ce doping, which resulted in high NH3-SCR activity at high temperature and good resistance of SO2. The addition of Co and Ce can supply more acid sites and NOx adsorption sites over Co0.2Ce0.35Mn0.45Ti10. Thus, more surface Bronsted acid and Lewis acid sites, NOx adsorption sites and modest redox ability of Co0.2Ce0.35Mn0.45Ti10 play key roles in the special NH3-SCR activity due to the interactions among Ce, Co, Mn and Ti oxides. Furthermore, the results of in situ DRIFTS study reveal the NH3-SCR reactions over Co0.2Ce0.35Mn0.45Ti10 and Co0.2Mn0.8Ti10 catalysts are mainly controlled by E-R mechanism (>210 °C) and the L-H mechanism (

A convenient sol-gel method was used to prepare a series of MnaCe0.3TiOx (a = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) catalysts and applied in selective catalytic reduction with NH3 (NH3-SCR) for NO removal. XRD, BET, Raman, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD, SO2-TPD, XPS and in situ DRIFTS were applied to analyze the texture structure, redox property, acidity and surface properties. The Mn0.1Ce0.3TiOx catalyst exhibited a dramatical performance that 100% NO conversion and above 90% N2 selectivity were obtained between 175 and 400 °C, even under high gas hourly space velocity of 80,000 h−1 and existence of SO2 and H2O. The results can be attributed to that Mn0.1Ce0.3TiOx catalyst possessed the most chemisorbed oxygen and suitable redox property derived from Ce3+ + Mn4+ ↔ Ce4+ + Mn3+ reaction. In situ DRIFTS revealed that the NH3-SCR reaction upon Mn0.1Ce0.3TiOx catalyst took place by L-H and E-R mechanisms below 175 °C while only E-R mechanism above 175 °C.

The Cux-Nb1.1-x (x = 0.45, 0.35, 0.25, 0.15) bimetal oxides catalysts were synthesized through citric acid method and used in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3. The relationship among the catalytic performances, the acid/redox properties and the structures of the binary oxides systems was explored through different characterization techniques including XRD, H2-TPR, BET, NO-TPD, NH3-TPD, XPS and in situ DRIFTS. The characterization results point out that the ratio of Cu to Nb has great influence on the activity of NH3-SCR reaction. Different catalytic activities of Cux-Nb1.1-x (x = 0.45, 0.35, 0.25, 0.15) mixed oxides could be attributed mainly to surface area, acid amount, the adsorption and activation of NH3 and redox ability of the corresponding catalyst. Among these Cux-Nb1.1-x (x = 0.45, 0.35, 0.25, 0.15) oxides catalysts, the Cu0.25-Nb0.85 catalyst exhibited the complete NO conversion in a reaction temperature range of 180-330 °C, together with near 100% N2 selectivity and remarkable SO2/H2O resistance. Moreover, the Cu0.25-Nb0.85 catalyst still exhibited wide activity temperature window of 185-380 °C at above 90% NO conversion even in the presence of 5% H2O under high GHSV of 70,000 h-1. Thus, it can be summarized from the above results that Cu0.25-Nb0.85 can be considered as excellent catalyst for NH3-SCR of NO.

Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) is one of the most common viral pathogens that circulate widely in captive mouse colonies. A molecular biology detection method would be a useful tool to use in an integrated program to monitor and prevent TMEV infection and transmission. Thus, a reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay was developed to detect TMEV infection. The sensitivity of the RT-RPA assay approached 8 copies per reaction, which is equivalent to the sensitivity of RT-qPCR reactions. This assay did not detect RNA extracts from other murine pathogens included in this study or TMEV negative samples. Brain tissues and contaminated biological materials were used to assess the clinical performance of the RT-RPA. The detection results of RT-RPA and RT-qPCR were very similar, except that a contaminated biological material sample which was positive by RT-qPCR, with a CT value of 38, was negative by RT-RPA. In summary, the developed RT-RPA assay offers a rapid, sensitive and specific alternative method for monitoring of TMEV, especially in resource-limited conditions.

In this paper, two types of Lyapunov exponents: random Lyapunov exponents and directional Lyapunov exponents, and the corresponding entropies: random entropy and directional entropy, are considered for smooth Z k -actions. The close relation among these quantities are investigated and the formulas of them are given via the Lyapunov exponents of the generators.

A facile way to synthesize a series of SAPO-34 zeolites was developed by using the mixed templates of morpholine and TEAOH with changing the temperature. Among these samples, SAPO-34-210 exhibited with the longest lifetime and the highest selectivity to light olefin for methanol to olefin (MTO) reaction. The characterizations suggested that SAPO-34-210 has unique Si distribution due to much more amount of TEAOH introduced into structure, which resulted in the excellent catalytic performance.

Acute respiratory tract infections are of paramount importance in the poultry industry. We developed an xTAG bead assay for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of avian influenza virus (AIV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV). The assay lacked nonspecific reactions with other common avian viruses and the limit of detection was 6.75 × 10 2 – 3.52 × 10 3 copies/μL. We examined 60 clinical specimens and found 18 positive for respiratory viruses. Our result demonstrated that xTAG-multiplex PCR method is a high-throughput, rapid, specific and sensitive assay for use in epidemiological studies and clinical detection of avian respiratory pathogens.

A series of NbmCu0.1-mCe0.9Ox catalysts were synthesized with the help of citric acid method, and used for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR). The catalytic performance of the NbmCu0.1-mCe0.9Ox samples was greatly improved after the introducing of niobium. Among all catalysts, the Nb0.06Cu0.04Ce0.9Ox catalyst revealed the best low-temperature SCR activity, higher N2 selectivity and extraordinary SO2 and H2O durability with 100% NO conversion at 150–390 °C. The various characterization techniques were carried out to investigate the effect of niobium doping on the physical structures, surface properties and NH3-SCR activity of catalysts. Results reveal that the oxidation ability decrease but the acidity is enhanced with the Nb addition. The improved acidity by niobium doping is considered the primary cause for the superior deNOx performance of the Nb0.06Cu0.04Ce0.9Ox catalyst at low temperature, which can offset the negative effects of the reduced oxidation ability on activity. Furthermore, in situ DRIFTS results were applied for the investigation of the reaction process in detail.
