Vacancy Formation Energy as an Effective Descriptor for the Catalytic Oxidation of CO by Au Nanoparticles

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have attracted wide attention in the field of catalysis because of their excellent stability and electrical properties. Herein, an accurate vacancy formation energy model based on nanothermodynamics theory is developed, the intrinsic correlation between vacancy formation e...
