Abstract

Metal-support electronic interactions were investigated in CO oxidation by using a Pd/CeO2 model catalyst with well-defined interfaces, and electron transfer from Pd cubes to CeO2 nanorods through interfaces triggered CO oxidation at low temperature where standalone Pd and CeO2 are inert.
