Résumé : NOx are produced during fuel combustion in automotive sources. Their emissions can be reduced thanks to catalytic converters.Supported metallic nanoparticles (Figure 1) form the active part of the catalytic converter. Depending on size, morphological structure and chemical nature, these particles are able to catalyze cleanup reactions. To study these reactions, we need samples with the same morphology and size as the real catalyst, and high space and time resolution techniques to establish links between structure and activity. The field effects techniques are able to perform these two conditions.
