摘要
Like billiard balls: Atomic-scale observations by electron microscopy of supported iridium nanoclusters show that the nanoclusters aggregate to reach a critical diameter of approximately 1nm and then resist further aggregation (see picture). The observations highlight the potential for this catalyst to assemble into clusters that may be nearly optimum for catalytic activity. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
