Copper–tantalum (Cu–Ta) immiscible alloy nanoparticles (NPs) have been the subject of extensive research in the field of structural materials, due to their exceptional nanostructural stability and high-temperature creep properties. However, Cu is also a highly active oxidation catalyst due to its ab...
