Pt was captured by PdO nanoparticles after aging the catalyst in air, forming bimetallic Pt−Pd nanoparticles.  The results show that mobile Pt species are effectively trapped by PdO, representing a novel mechanism by which Ostwald ripening is slowed down.  The results have implications for the development of sinter-resistant catalysts.
