The Role of Interactive Soil Moisture in Land Drying Under Anthropogenic Warming

Abstract Relative humidity (RH) is projected to increase over ocean but decrease over land under anthropogenic warming. The land RH decrease was previously attributed to ocean influences on land changes. Here, we show that interactive soil moisture (SM) is necessary and may be sufficient for anthropogenic warming to reduce the land RH. The land RH decrease is absent in simulations with realistic land‐ocean geometry but fixed SM, and present in simulations with interactive SM but no oceans or changes in precipitation minus evaporation. The land RH decrease is coupled to the SM decline and the latter could be understood as a natural response of interactive SM to anthropogenic warming. Specifically, prior to adjustments in SM and RH, evaporation would increase by ∼6% K −1 following the Clausius–Clapeyron relation, outpacing the radiatively constrained ∼2% K −1 precipitation increase. This prior imbalance depletes SM and consequently reduces RH through the coupling between SM and RH.

Integrated in situ spectroscopic studies on syngas production from partial oxidation of methane catalyzed by atomically dispersed rhodium cations on ceria

Catalytic reforming of methane to produce syngas is an important strategy for producing value-added chemicals. The conventional reforming catalyst relies on supported nickel nanoparticles. Here, in this work, we investigated singly dispersed Rh cations anchored on a CeO 2 catalyst (Rh 1 /CeO 2 ) for high activity and selectivity towards the production of syngas via partial oxidation of methane (POM) in the temperature range of 600–700 °C. The yields of H 2 and CO at 700 °C are 83% and 91%, respectively. The anchored Rh 1 atoms on CeO 2 of Rh 1 /CeO 2 are in the cationic state, and on an average each Rh 1 atom coordinates with 4–5 surface lattice oxygen atoms of CeO 2 . Compared to inert CeO 2 for POM, via the incorporation of single-atom sites, Rh 1 modifies the electronic state of oxygen atoms proximal to the Rh 1 atoms and thus triggers the catalytic activity of CeO 2 . The high activity of single-atom catalyst Rh 1 /CeO 2 suggests that the incorporation of single atoms of transition metals to the surface of a reducible oxide can modulate the electronic state of proximal anions of the oxide support toward forming an electronic state favorable for the selective formation of ideal products.
