Abstract:While the catalyst support layer enables the preparation of catalyst nanoparticles arrayed at high density, they are susceptible to instability in the catalyst activity lifetime due to surface and bulk diffusion mechanisms. This study proposes a strategy to mitigate this limitation by maintaining structural stability and thus chemical reactivity using a double-layer (DL) support architecture. In place of a single support layer, which cannot adequately perform two functions, i.e., inhibit subsurface diffusion a… Show more
