In situ XPS of the catalysts during water gas shift reaction

PUBLISHED IN NATURE: A stable low-temperature H2-production catalyst by crowding Pt on α-MoC

Platinum isolated atoms and clusters supported on molybdenum carbide have been extensively characterized. The presence of both species is essential to boost the stability, so that the catalysts displays high metal-normalized turnover number of 4,300,000 moles of hydrogen per mole of platinum
