    Catalysis of Gold Nanoparticles Deposited on Metal Oxides

    Gold in bulk is chemically inert and has often been regarded to be poorly active as a catalyst. However, when gold is small enough—with particle diameters below 10 nm—it turns out to be surprisingly active for...

    Growth of Pd particles in methanol synthesis over Pd/CeO2

    The metal–support contact structure of Pd–CeO2 changed with increasing the temperature of reduction. Upon high temperature reduction, severe sintering of Pd particles occurred, while sintering of the ceria suppor...
