Generating and quantifying the effect of the promoter speciation in heterogeneous catalysts is very challenging. Here, the authors show that the precise palladium atoms architecture reached by controlled co-precipitation overcomes selectivity and stability limitations associated with palladium nanoparticles for CO2-based methanol synthesis.
