Fig. 2: Concept of LCC catalyst.

a Schematic representation of the nanostructured Pd catalyst supported on a Si model support. The arrows list some critical design factors. Coloured factors refer to reagents and conditions, black factors to the catalyst material. We envisage each nanostructure as a tri-layer system with two interfaces. The mesoscopic structure as laterally condensed catalyst (LCC) is given in scheme (b). Such self-organization is accessible as the nucleation state of a thin film. Note that we consider parameters at various scales in addition to the local scale of the electronic structure of active sites.
