ALD prepared Pt catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity and stable WGS reaction rates that are comparable to those of conventional incipient wetness impregnation catalysts. Synthesis of metal nanoparticles by ALD has several potential applications where uniform sizes, novel metal compositions, TEM studies, or small alloy particles are required.
