Sometimes, it’s not only the material, but the interface that makes the difference.   In a new publication in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Daniel Cano-Blanco and co-authors show how short-range RhOx and CeOx species anchored to Co₃O₄ create a cooperative redox catalyst for N₂O decomposition.   By bringing different metal oxides into close contact, the team reveals how a synergistic Rh–O–Co–O–Ce interface enhances redox flexibility and promotes lattice oxygen activation, making N₂O decomposition more efficient. 🌍   📖 Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/ek3CdCaZ 🎥In action: Daniel and Davide finalizing the setup for the operando experiments at ESRF (BM23) Congratulations to Daniel Camilo Cano Blanco, Silvio Bellomi, Daniele Bonavia, Kirill Lomachenko, Karin Föttinger, Oliver Kroecher, Davide Ferri and all co-authors. #Catalysis #N2O #EmissionControl #RedoxCatalysis #MixedMetalOxides #AngewandteChemie
