When adding an unreactive metal enhances catalytic activity: NOx decomposition over silver-rhodium bimetallic surfaces

Recent experiments indicate unexpectedly high catalytic activity for decomposition of NOx species over Ag-Rh nanoparticles, but the crucial role played by the coinage metal remains unclear. We have therefore performed ab-initio density functional calculations aimed at elucidating key features of NO...
