A new insight into the mechanism of hydrogen spillover

In a recent issue of Nature Catalysis, Chandler and colleagues demonstrate that hydrogen spillover on Au/TiO2 is entropy driven and pose that the only real requirement of spillover for the catalyst is to stabilize both protons and electrons. This study gives a new insight into the mechanism for hydrogen spillover.
