2 Increasing catalyst durability and recyclability is important Pollution control Alternative energy

3 Nanoparticle disintegration is a common phenomena Reactants Temperature Pressure Disintegration Adatom complexes

4 Nanoparticle disintegration can cause catalyst deactivation Rh/SiO 2 Most active size Disintegration Changes particle size distribution Decreases activity! McClure, S. M.; Lundwall, M. J.; Goodman, D. W. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 2011, 108, 931

10 Towards controlling nanoparticle disintegration Between supported Rh, Pd and Pt catalysts, which one is more susceptible to the disintegration? Among NO and CO, which one is more efficient for catalyst redispersion? How sensitive do these results depend on the particle size, temperature and pressure? Reactant Monomers Disintegration Redispersion Particle Support
