For the first time, the growth behavior with size-dependent Fe occupancies at different sites of MgFe2O4 was examined. Hybrid catalysts of Pt/MgFe2O4 with a support size of 20.6 nm exhibited an optimal performance of CO oxidation.

Gold (Au) catalysts exhibit a significant size effect, but its origin has been puzzling for a long time. It is generally believed that supported Au clusters are more or less rigid in working condition, which inevitably leads to the general speculation that the active sites are immobile. Here, by using atomic resolution in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy, we report size-dependent structure dynamics of single Au nanoparticles on ceria (CeO2) in CO oxidation reaction condition at room temperature. While large Au nanoparticles remain rigid in the catalytic working condition, ultrasmall Au clusters lose their intrinsic structures and become disordered, featuring vigorous structural rearrangements and formation of dynamic low-coordinated atoms on surface. Ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations reveal that the interaction between ultrasmall Au cluster and CO molecules leads to the dynamic structural responses, demonstrating that the shape of the catalytic particle under the working condition may totally differ from the shape under the static condition. The present observation provides insight on the origin of superior catalytic properties of ultrasmall gold clusters.
