Abstract
Living on the edge: Three‐dimensional reconstructions from electron tomography data recorded from Au/Ce0.50Tb0.12Zr0.38O2−x catalysts show that gold nanoparticles (see picture; yellow) are preferentially located on stepped facets and nanocrystal boundaries. An epitaxial relationship between the metal and support plays a key role in the structural stabilization of the gold nanoparticles.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
