Tiny Gold Clusters Are Top-notch Catalysts

Monday, September 8, 2008 - 00:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Using a pair of scanning transmission electron microscopy instruments for which spherical aberration is corrected, researchers have for the first time achieved state-of-the-art resolution of gold nanocrystals absorbed onto iron oxide surfaces that can catalyzed a variety of reactions, including the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
