Abstract

Direct observation of the shapes of metal catalyst particles by electron microscopy aids in elucidating the correlation between surface geometry and catalytic activity. A review of the most commonly observed shapes reveals that particle surface roughness is a key parameter in this correlation. The correlation is illustrated by two examples: isomerization of 2-methylpentane over platinum and ethane hydrogenolysis over nickel.
