Iron modification of rhodium nano-crystallites for CO hydrogenation

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of iron on alumina-supported well defined nano-sized rhodium crystallites on the activity and selectivity for CO hydrogenation. The objective was to prepare model catalysts with similar average crystallite size and narrow size distribution.
