Thermodynamics driving the strong metal-support interaction: titanate encapsulation of supported Pd nanocrystals

The strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) is the encapsulation of a supported metal particle by an oxide layer that diffuses from the substrate. This process is usually described as being driven by a reduction in the surface energy of the metal particle and has a significant influence on the catal...
