Gold catalysts containing interstitial carbon atoms boost hydrogenation activity

Gold is among the least active metals toward molecules at a solid-liquid or solid-gas interface. Here the authors demonstrate that the gold nanocatalysts with d electron gain due to C occupying interstitial sites in its lattice boost catalytic hydrogenation.
