Abstract
This study investigated the redox exsolution of Ni nanoparticles from a nanoporous La0.52Sr0.28Ti0.94Ni0.06O3 perovskite. The characteristics of exsolved Ni nanoparticles including their size, population, and surface concentration were deeply analyzed by environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDX) mapping, and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR). Ni exsolution was triggered in hydrogen as early as 400 °C, with the highest catalytic activity for low-temperature CO oxidation achieved after a reduction step at 500 °C, despite only a 10% fraction of Ni exsolved. The activity and stability of exsolved nanoparticles were compared with their impregnated counterparts on a perovskite material with a similar chemical composition (La0.65Sr0.35TiO3) and a comparable specific surface area and Ni loading. After an aging step at 800 °C, the catalytic activity of exsolved Ni nanoparticles at 300 °C was found to be 10 times higher than that of impregnated ones, emphasizing the thermal stability of Ni nanoparticles prepared by redox exsolution.

Abstract
Perovskites are very promising materials for a wide range of applications (such as catalysis, solid oxide fuel cells…) due to beneficial general properties (e.g. stability at high temperatures) and tunability - doping both A- and B-site cations opens the path to a materials design approach that allows specific properties to be finely tuned towards applications. A major asset of perovskites is the ability to form nanoparticles on the surface under certain conditions in a process called "exsolution". Exsolution leads to the decoration of the material's surface with finely dispersed nanoparticles (which can be metallic or oxidic - depending on the experimental conditions) made from B-site cations of the perovskite lattice (here, doping comes into play, as B-site doping allows control over the constitution of the nanoparticles). In fact, the ability to undergo exsolution is one of the main reasons that perovskites are currently a hot topic of intensive research in catalysis and related fields. Exsolution on perovskites has been heavily researched in the last couple of years: various potential catalysts have been tested with different reactions, the oxide backbone materials and the exsolved nanoparticles have been investigated with a multitude of different methods, and the effect of different exsolution parameters on the resulting nanoparticles has been studied. Despite all this, to our knowledge no comprehensive effort was made so far to evaluate these studies with respect to the effect that the exsolution conditions have on anchorage and morphology of the nanoparticles. Therefore, this highlight aims to provide an overview of nanoparticles exsolved from oxide-based perovskites with a focus on the conditions leading to nanoparticle exsolution.
