Abstract
Supported metal catalysts, consisting of metal crystallites dispersed on the surface of non-metallic substrates, are widely used both in the chemical and automotive industries. The activity of these catalysts tends to decrease during service, as a result of various chemical and physical phenomena. The present review will focus on the phenomenon of supported metal particle growth, or sintering, which leads to a decrease in the total active metal surface area and a concomitant decrease in total activity.
