Abstract

How nanoparticle (NP) catalysts re-structure under reaction conditions and how these changes associate with catalytic activity remains poorly understood. Here, the authors present operando TEM studies of Pd NPs during CO oxidation, which show reversible changes in both structure and activity with temperature.
