Resolving the structure and composition of supported nanoparticles under reaction conditions remains a challenge in heterogeneous catalysis. Advanced configurational sampling methods at the density functional theory level are used to identify stable structures of a Pd<sub>8</sub> cluster on ceria (CeO<sub>2</sub>) in the absence and presence of O<sub>2</sub>. A Monte Carlo method in the Gibbs ensemble predicts Pd-oxide particles to be stable on CeO<sub>2</sub> during CO oxidation. Computed poten ...[more]
