Ceria supported Pt clusters exhibit excellent activity and selectivity for various industrially important reactions such as the water-gas shift (WGS), CO oxidation, and propylene epoxidation.  In this paper, we investigate the structure and reducibility of the three-phase boundary of ceria (111) supported Pt clusters under experimental WGS conditions.
