Calcination of the new materials obtained by this surface-assisted reduction method gives highly active PdO/CeO2 nanostructures with Pd well dispersed on the substrate. Temperature-programmed oxidation experiments showed that these nanomaterials are good catalysts for the low-temperature oxidation of methane, with 50\% conversion temperatures (T-50\%) at similar to 300 degrees C.}, issn = {1944-8244}, doi = {10.1021/acsami.5b05189}, author = {Gomathi, A. and Vickers, Susan M. and Gholami, Rahman and Alyani, Mina and Man, Renee W.
