Single Pd Atoms on θ-Al2O3 (010) Surface do not Catalyze NO Oxidation

Abstract New convenient wet-chemistry synthetic routes have made it possible to explore catalytic activities of a variety of single supported atoms, however, the single supported atoms on inert substrates (e.g. alumina) are limited to adatoms and cations of Pt, Pd, and Ru. Previously, we have found...
