Size-controlled photochemical synthesis of niobium nanoparticles.
The size of photochemically-prepared niobium nanoparticles (NbNP) can be controlled by varying the concentration of the photoinitiator in the reaction mixture. The particles, which may be metallic in nature, are readily oxidized upon air exposure to form stable niobium(v) oxide nanoparticles (NbONP) that act as strong Brønsted acids.
متن کاملSize-Controlled Synthesis of Gold Nanostars and Their Characterizations and Plasmon Resonances
Gold nanostar particles were synthesized using seed-mediated method. Au-seed was synthesized with the diameter of approximately 3 nm and a considerably low STDEV of less than 1 nm. Then, different amount of Au seed was introduced into the growth solution of nanostars and the influence of the changes in concentration of Au seed on the growth process was investigated. The size of gold nanostars i...
متن کاملCatalytic activity of Au nanoparticles
Au is usually viewed as an inert metal, but surprisingly it has been found that Au nanoparticles less than 3–5 nm in diameter are catalytically active for several chemical reactions. We discuss the origin of this effect, focusing on the way in which the chemical activity of Au may change with particle size. We find that the fraction of low-coordinated Au atoms scales approximately with the cata...
متن کاملSize-dependent catalytic properties of Au nanoparticles supported on hierarchical nickel silicate nanostructures.
The precise control of nanostructures, assembly processing, and the size of each component is important for the construction of integrated functional nanocomposites. In this paper, we describe a simple two-step method for the synthesis of novel flower-like nanocomposites (AuNPs/NiSiO) composed of well-dispersed and size-controlled Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) immobilized on hierarchically structure...
متن کاملSize-dependent catalytic and melting properties of platinum-palladium nanoparticles
While nanocatalysis is a very active field, there have been very few studies in the size/shape-dependent catalytic properties of transition metals from a thermodynamical approach. Transition metal nanoparticles are very attractive due their high surface to volume ratio and their high surface energy. In particular, in this paper we focus on the Pt-Pd catalyst which is an important system in cata...
