- This paper investigates the metal particle formation process (exsolution of nanoparticles from a perovskite oxide) to form well-controlled forms of supported-metal catalysts. This work is significant because it demonstrates that the stoichiometric residual perovskite after exsolution could prevent the re-dissolution in the perovskite during oxidation, allowing the nanoparticles to display improved resistance to carbon deposition and agglomeration and enhanced catalytic activity due to strain (nanoparticles anchored to the surface), and because the choice of base metals offers a valuable alternative to precious metals (e.g. platinum) while approaching similar catalytic performances.
