Nanoparticles with precisely controlled socketed geometries, created via an ex-solution method, present promising ways to improve the stability of heterogeneous catalysts. Here, the authors demonstrate that adjusting the level of La deficiencies in the oxide support allows tuning of the geometry of Pd-based particles, which in turn influences their catalytic performance in high-temperature oxidation reactions.
