Regulation of Frustrated Lewis Pairs on CeO2 facilitates tandem transformation of styrene and CO2 The frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) site of (Ce, Ce)-O on CeO2(110) surface undergoes the reconstruction to form (La, Ce)-O upon La-doping.

Low temperature reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction faces the following obstacles: low activity and unsatisfactory selectivity. Herein, the dual-active sites of platinum (Pt) clusters and frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) on porous CeO2 nanorods (Ptcluster/PN-CeO2) provide an interface-independent pathway to boost the highly performed RWGS reaction at low temperatures. Mechanistic investigations illustrate that Pt clusters can effectively activate and dissociate H2.
