Quantitative 3D Characterization of Functionally Relevant Parameters in Heavy-Oxide-Supported 4d Metal Nanocatalysts.

Accurate 3D nanometrology of catalysts with small nanometer-sized particles of light 3d or 4d metals supported on high-atomic-number oxides is crucial for understanding their functionality. However, performing quantitative 3D electron tomography analysis on systems involving metals like Pd, Ru, or Rh supported on heavy oxides (e.g.
