Researchers Develop Catalyst Based on "Composite Energy Trap" Model

Nano-catalysts usually have higher catalytic activity than traditional bulk catalysts. And it is widely acknowledged that the smaller the particle size of the active component is, the higher the activity would be. However, the active component with small size tends to agglomerate or further grow into large particles.
