Researchers tune active sites of bimetallic catalysts with atomic precision (IMAGE)
Caption
A research group led by Prof. SHEN Wenjie and Prof. LI Yong from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved atomic precision in tuning bimetallic catalyst active sites. By forming Pt-Fe-Pt heterotrimers on α-Fe nanoparticles via H2 reduction, they enhanced hydrogenation selectivity and activity, achieving a 35-fold increase in the rate for crotonaldehyde hydrogenation. This study addresses the activity-selectivity trade-off in catalytic reactions and was published in Chem.
