20 Claims

1. A heterogeneous catalyst that is configured for directed hydrogenation of a substrate, the heterogeneous catalyst comprising bimetallic nanoparticles of M₁-M₂, wherein Mi is a noble metal and M₂is a first-row transition metal, the bimetallic nanoparticles are disposed on a support material, the bimetallic nanoparticles have a bimetallic surface, and atoms of both the noble metal and the first-row transition metal have a balanced distribution across the bimetallic surfaces of the bimetallic nanoparticles.
