Catalyst nanoparticle. Atom probe tomography (APT) image of a copper-cobalt-manganese catalyst nanoparticle showing its core (left) and outer shell (right). Cobalt atoms are blue, copper atoms are orange and manganese atoms are green. These nanoparticles can efficiently catalyse the production of the long-chain alcohols that are used in industrial chemistry. The outer shell is approximately 2 nanometres thick.
