Blurring the boundary between homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis using palladium nanoclusters with dynamic surfaces

Establishing a structure-property relationship for nanoclusters and the link with their catalytic performance remain challenging. Here the authors show palladium nanocluster with a core of 2 nm surrounded by a diffuse dynamic shell of Pd atoms exhibit features of heterogeneous and homogenous catalys...
