Rational catalyst design is crucial toward achieving more energy-efficient and sustainable catalytic processes. Here the authors report a data-driven approach for understanding catalytic reactions mechanisms in dilute bimetallic catalysts by combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy with activity studies and kinetic modeling.
