“…(2) Narrow range of support material and according possible ex-solutes elements: - The most commonly studied host oxide is a perovskite oxide (ABO 3 ); there have been relatively a few attempts to ex-solve nanoparticles from other functional oxides, such as fluorites, the Ruddlesden–Popper types, and others.
- Limited numbers of transition metals can be selected to ex-solve nanoparticles. For example, the transition metals of Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu have been widely investigated; ,,,− however, to the best of our knowledge, the element of Mo has never been reported in relation to the ex-solution process, even though the catalytic activity of Mo can be especially appealing for the dry reforming of methane
- To fully appreciate the benefit of ex-solution, the host oxide and supposed ex-solutes should make a homogeneous solid solution.
