Abstract:
Carbon monoxide, one of the major pollutants in the air, is mainly produced due to the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. Among all the techniques developed for removing CO, catalytic oxidation has been considered one of the most effective approaches, and the commonly used catalysts include metal oxides and noble metals. Noble metal attracted extensive attention due to its good catalytic performance at low temperatures and high resistance to poisoning. The review summarizes the recent advances of noble metals including Pt, Pd, Au, Ru, Rh, and Ir in CO oxidation. The effect of support, metal doping, the particle size of noble metals, and the hydroxyl groups on CO oxidation is discussed. Besides, the metal-support interaction on the stability and activity is also involved in this review. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of supported noble metal catalysts in practical CO oxidation are proposed.

Catalysis
Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
The hydrogenation process takes place on the...
Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
