Unravelling the Origin of the High-Catalytic Activity of Supported Au: A Density-Functional Theory-Based Interpretation.

The article examines the adoption of a density-functional theory-based interpretation for determining the origin of the high-catalytic activity of supported gold (Au). The outstanding activity of supported Au particles has been attributed to structural effects as size, shape and thickness. In partic...
