Sydney reports how the chemistry of mixed metal oxides renders Pt catalysts more active and stable

In ACS Catalysis, Sydney reports how tuning the chemical composition of an encapsulated metal oxide system where platinum nanoparticles are encapsulated in mixed alumina and manganese oxide layers can provide a synergistic effect in increasing both catalytic activity and stability for carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. Read the full article here: Eliciting a Synergistic Effect between… Read more Sydney reports how the chemistry of mixed metal oxides renders Pt catalysts more active and stable
