Citrate-mediated structure and enthalpy-entropy trade-off in Ni-CeO2 catalysts for low-temperature CO2 methanation

Catalytic activity in heterogeneous reactions is often interpreted in terms of activation enthalpy, although reaction rates are governed by the activation free energy, which includes both enthalpic (Δ H ‡ ) and entropic (Δ S ‡ ) contributions. This simplification is particularly...
