Colloidal metals: past, present and future

نویسنده

  • John M. Thomas
چکیده

A critical assessment of the various X-ray and electron-based methods of determining the structure of ultrafine metallic particles of colloidal dimension is given. In particular, examples of the use and potential of high-resolution electron microscopy of high-angle Rutherford scattering and of scanning tunneling microscopic procedures are illustrated. Several growth points of current and possible future uses of colloidal metals are identified; and the role of a variety of colloidal metals in (gas-solid) catalysis, in photocatalysis and in the photogeneration of organic materials are discussed. The prospects of finetuning colloidal catalysts are also briefly touched upon.

Bioavailability of colloid-bound Cd, Cr, and Zn to marine plankton

The uptake of colloid-bound Cd, Cr, and Zn by marine plankton (including the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana, the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum, and the copepod Paracalanus aculeatus) was studied using the radiotracer technique. Natural organic colloids (operationally defined as particles between 1 kDa and 0.2 μm) were isolated from Hong Kong coastal seawater using cross-flow ultrafiltrat...
