Abstract
The lecture will deal with some innovative aspects in the field of heterogeneous gas-phase reactions, and in specific of selective oxidation. Topics discussed will be:
a)Bulk, nano and tubular oxides: the role of morphology on catalytic reactivity.
b)Complexity in heterogeneous catalysis: phase-cooperation and element-cooperation in multifunctional catalytic systems.
c)Bulk vs surface characteristics in metal oxides for catalytic applications: structural defects, active layers and surface adsorbed species
d)Dynamics at the catalyst surface: tools for the identification of the active species.
