“…Other experimental techniques corroborate XPS results, showing a beneficial effect of ceria in maintaining Pd in oxidized form and/or shifting PdO decomposition to higher temperature [14,16,38,43,49,57]. The stabilization of oxidized palladium by ceria is often observed also after aging or reducing treatments [14,16,28,45,46,50,52,53,[58][59][60][61], post reaction [22,44,62,63], or during in situ or operando experiments [14,32,38,52,[64][65][66] even in oxygen deficient atmosphere typical of stoichiometric (or rich) operation [14,38,66].…”
