We conduct a mechanistic study of the prototypical Daihatsu Intelligent Catalyst system, Pd-LaFeO3, for three-way automotive catalysis, using atomic-resolution electron microscopy and related spectroscopic techniques. Our results on model thin film catalysts hint at very strong metal-support interactions between catalyst and substrate, serving to stabilize the metal in high dispersion.
