Unearthing Atomic Dynamics in Nanocatalysts.

ABSTRACT: Being able to access the rich atomic-scale phenomenology, which occurs during the reactions pathways, is a pressing need toward the pursued knowledge-based design of more efficient nanocatalysts, precisely tailored atom by atom for each reaction. However, to reach this goal of achieving maximum optimization, it is mandatory, first, to address how exposure to the experimental conditions, which will be needed to activate the processes, affects the internal configuration of the nanoparticles at the atomic level. In particular, the most critical experimental parameter is probably the temperature, which among other unwanted effects can induce nanocatalyst aggregation. This work highlights the high potential of experimental techniques such as the scanning probe microscopies, which are able to in
