Rh sintering suppression on ZrO2 based oxide was investigated. An Nd2O3 enriched layer formed on ZrO2 particles acts as an anchor for supported Rh nanoparticles. An alumina diffusion barrier was introduced to suppress the sintering of ZrO2 primary particles. This combination enabled Rh sintering suppression without degradation of Rh reducibility.
