Metal nanoparticles have high surface energy and a large number of active sites, making them excellent catalysts for various chemical reactions. Platinum, palladium, and gold nanoparticles are widely ...

Synthetic nanoparticles are used in a range of applications, such as in electronics, energy, medicine, and catalysis, due to their unique properties that arise from their small size and high surface ...

New research has revealed the fundamental mechanisms that limit the performance of copper catalysts—critical components in ...

In nanoparticles, the number of atoms on the surface and in the particle is practically ... which type of shell is better in terms of energy," commented Professor Alexander Kvashnin from the ...

This approach allows layers with different properties to be laid down on the surface of a nanoparticle by alternately exposing the surface to positively and negatively charged polymers.

“The use of alumina nanoparticles leads to efficient scavenging of iodine, improved bulk electrical and surface electronic homogeneity in fresh films, which is preserved even when the films are ...
