A supported Cu-based catalyst is designed for nitrogen oxide (NO) reduction reaction based on the previous exploration of Cu-M alloy nanoparticles by quantum chemical computations, where Cu-shell-Ru-core with incoherent interphase interfaces have been suggested as a candidate structure improving NO reduction activity. Here, such Cu-Ru nanoparticles are actually prepared in Al2O3-supported form by using electrostatic adsorption method as an adequate preparation method of supported core-shell alloy nanoparticle catalysts. Improved NO reduction activity by Cu-shell-Ru-core nanoparticles is demonstrated by NO-CO reaction activity tests on their Cu0
/Ru surface in comparison to monometal surface of Cu and Ru nanoparticles.
