The mechanism of the CO oxidation promoted by a neutral Ag(55) cluster was investigated extensively, using density functional theory calculations. The CO oxidation process catalyzed by anionic and cationic Ag(55) clusters was also studied, to clarify the effects of the charge state. The Eley-Rideal (ER) and Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) mechanisms were discussed in detail. Six reaction pathways were found for the Ag(55)-mediated CO oxidation. It was found that the ER mechanism competed with the LH… 
Theoretical investigation on CO oxidation catalyzed by a copper nanocluster
The mechanism of CO oxidation catalyzed by a 55-atom copper nanocluster was studied at the BVP86/DNP level with all-electron scalar relativity. Eley–Rideal (ER) and Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH)
CO Oxidation by Molecular and Atomic Oxygen on Ag(100): A Density Functional Theory Study
CO oxidation by molecular and atomic oxygen has been studied using Ag38 and Ag29 cluster models at the DFT-PW91PW91/[LANL2DZ, 6-31G(d)] level. The calculated results show that the adsorptions of O
Catalytic role of pre-adsorbed CO in platinum-based catalysts: the reduction of SO2 by CO on PtlAum(CO)n.
TLDR
The mechanism of the excellent catalytic properties of the bimetallic complex catalysts revealed is the strong coupling between the C-2p and metal 5d orbitals, which is found to be very effective in not only reducing the activation energy, but also preventing poisoning by sulfur.

Reactivity and Catalytic Activity of Hydrogen Atom Chemisorbed Silver Clusters.
TLDR
The results affirm that the hydrogen atom chemisorption leads to enhancement in the binding energy of the adsorbed O2 molecule on the inert silver clusters and show low reaction barriers and high heat of formation of the final products for the environmentally important CO oxidation reaction as compared to the parent catalytically inactive clusters.
CO Oxidation Prefers the Eley-Rideal or Langmuir-Hinshelwood Pathway: Monolayer vs Thin Film of SiC.
TLDR
Using the first-principles approach, the electronic and chemical properties of wurtzite silicon carbide monolayer and thin film structures were investigated and substantiated their catalytic activity toward CO oxidation and it was observed that the ER mechanism is preserved onSiC/G system, while CO oxidation on the SiC/Ag(111) system follows the LH mechanism.

Communication: CO oxidation by silver and gold cluster cations: identification of different active oxygen species.
TLDR
The comparative study reveals that for both gold and silver cations carbon dioxide is formed on the clusters, however, whereas in the case of Au(3)(+) the cluster itself acts as reactive species that facilitates the formation of CO(2) from N( 2)O and CO, for silver the oxidized clusters Ag(3)O(x)(+) (n=1-3) are identified as active in the CO oxidation reaction.
