  • Catalyst nanoarchitectures with high activity and stability
    Patent number: 10682638
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method may include forming a catalytic nanoarchitecture. The method may include heating a non-catalytic metal compound within a specified temperature range and atmosphere in the presence of a catalytic metal. In some embodiments, heating the non-catalytic metal may include heating within a hydrogen-containing atmosphere. The method may include transforming a first architecture of the non-catalytic metal to a second architecture. The second architecture may include openings in the second architecture. The method may include incorporating the catalytic metal into the openings in the second architecture such that the catalytic metal is integrated into the second architecture. In some embodiments, the method may include increasing a catalytic activity of the catalytic metal by integrating the catalytic metal into the second architecture.
