Abstract

Up close and personal with nanocatalysts The cover picture shows the generation of a false-color image of GaPd2. In their Full Paper on p. 2599 ff., R. Leary et al. describe the atomic structure of GaPd2 nanocatalysts by using aberration-corrected STEM (AC-STEM) and annular dark-field imaging. AC-STEM provided direct insight into the distinct structure and chemical ordering of the intermetallic phase GaPd2 in nanosized particles. It also revealed deviations from the ideal “bulk” structure. The study highlights the importance of considering nanoparticle morphologies and nanocrystalline defects.
