19. Strictly speaking, the alloyed particle is not a catalyst but rather a reactant, since it is partially consumed in the chemical reaction. In other words, a chemical reaction between the component(s) from the vapor precursor and the alloy "catalyst" itself takes place within the liquid "catalyst", and the resulting species precipitate in whisker-like morphology upon supersaturation.
20. 31 particles on a flat alumina substrate, then directly moved to the SEM chamber for observation.
21. 31 alloyed powder in an alumina tube. To maintain its original shape to the greatest extent, the specimen for TEM measurement was obtained by dispersing the product into ethanol without ultrasonic treatment and then transferred onto carbon-coated copper grids.
