22. Both supports used, alumina and silica, interact only weakly with the Pd metal. Hence, effects due to electronic interaction with the support are expected to be weak for the three-dimensional nanoparticles under investigation. Differences in the adsorption and reaction behavior are mainly related to the intrinsically modified electronic structure of the small metal particles or to geometric effects.

38. In previous angle-resolved experiments, we have shown that surface diffusion of both adsorbed O and CO is fast for model systems II (6 nm) and III (1.8 nm) (39). These findings justify the application of a pure mean-field model, in contrast to the case of reduced oxygen diffusion, which would require the application of Monte Carlo or hybrid methods (20).
