Currently, the strategy to improve the high-temperature stability of nano-sized catalysts is to restrict the migration of particles on the surface, which, however, lacks theoretical knowledge and directions. Herein, we reported a new approach that can effectively inhibit the migration and agglomeration of supported nanoparticles by fabrication of a model catalyst Pt/CeO2/NiAl2O4/Al2O3@SiO2. This catalyst is highly stable with the microstructure unchanged even after being aged at 1000 °C. Density functional theory calculations indicate that two types of confinement effects exist in the catalyst and their mechanisms were well explained from the viewpoint of "energy traps" which can also be applied to other supported catalysts.展开更多
