Gold-Nickel Alloy Catalysts for Steam Reforming

Please note that the approach taken to find a solution for carbon deposition started with leads from surface science and computational chemistry and led to the straightforward development of a new catalyst a good example of rational catalyst development based on fundamental knowledge
