Pt single atom alloyed sub-1 nm thick Fe overlayer on supported Cu nanoparticles for methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation

Abstract

We successfully developed a Pt single atom alloyed sub-1 nm thick Fe overlayer on Cu nanoparticles capable of catalyzing MCH dehydrogenation with the H 2 -evolution rate per Pt mass at least 133 times higher than that of state-of-the-art catalysts.
