Cutting costs with copper: Facile dissociation of hydrogen molecules on isolated Pd atoms followed by diffusion to the dominating Cu surface are the two key ingredients for a novel class of bifunctional catalysts. The resulting H atoms are weakly bound to the catalyst surface and are readily available for subsequent selective hydrogenation steps.
