Experimental and DFT insights into the phase-dependent performance of NiIn1-xSnx (x = 0.5 and 0.8) intermetallic catalysts for acetylene hydrogenation.
Intermetallic catalysts offer a unique platform for the hydrogenation reaction of acetylene, as their well-defined crystal structures and precise stoichiometry enable atomic-level control over the active-site composition, geometry and electronic structure. In ternary intermetallics, the addition of a third element in v...
