Facile synthesis of palladium incorporated NiCo₂O₄ spinel for low temperature methane combustion : activate lattice oxygen to promote activity

While palladium-based catalysts are effective in low-temperature methane combustion, their high cost and scarcity render them unsuitable to fulfil the growing demand. The design of improved catalysts which can more efficiently utilize this precious metal is required. Here, by using a facile one-pot...
