Substrate Size‐Selective Catalysis with Zeolite‐Encapsulated Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract

The Dark Crystal: A hybrid material is reported that is comprised of 1–2 nm sized gold nanoparticles, accessible only through zeolite micropores in a silicalite-1 crystal, as shown by three-dimensional TEM tomography (see picture). Calcination experiments indicate that the embedded nanoparticles are highly stable towards sintering. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
