METAL–SUPPORT INTERACTION

Easy alloying on flat carbides

Nature Catalysis volume 1, pages 316–317 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Reactive metal–support interactions are generally considered characteristic of oxide supports. Now, two-dimensional niobium carbide, a member of the MXenes family, has been used as a platinum support providing an active water-gas shift catalyst via reduction-induced formation of stable, catalytically active Nb–Pt nanoparticles.
