Claim Text:
1. A catalyst comprising: a nano-support material, wherein the nano-support has a partially reduced surface; and a nano-catalytic material bonded to the partially reduced surface of the nano-support, wherein the catalyst is prepared by vaporizing a support material and a catalytic material in a plasma stream under reducing conditions and condensing the vaporized support material and catalytic material to form nano-catalytic material on the nano-support material, said nano-support material having a partially reduced surface, wherein the partially reduced surface of the nano-support material limits the movement of the nano-catalytic material on the surface of the nano-support, and wherein the vaporizing under reducing conditions and condensing results in a more metallic surface of the nano-support by reducing the nano-support material.
