Read moreNew materials: A toggle switch for catalysis
Researchers showed that a special material made of lanthanum, strontium, iron and oxygen can be switched back and forth between two different states: In one state the material is catalytically extremely active, in the other less so. The reason for this is the behavior of iron nanoparticles on the surface.
