Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the most important chemical processes of various
industries performed on catalyst nanoparticles with different sizes or/and shapes. In the past …

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 …

The water–gas shift (WGS) reaction rate per total mole of Au under 7% CO, 8.5% CO2, 22%
H2O, and 37% H2 at 1 atm for Au/Al2O3 catalysts at 180° C and Au/TiO2 catalysts at 120° C …

Titanium dioxide is one of the most intensely studied oxides due to its interesting
electrochemical and photocatalytic properties and it is widely applied, for example in …

The structure sensitivity of CO 2 methanation was explored over nickel particles (10–25 nm)
supported on CeO 2 nanorods. An optimum Ni particle size of 20 nm was revealed, with the …

Due to increasing concern about environmental impact, there has been tremendous recent
interest in develo** new processes that both reduce energy consumption and minimize …

Core/shell nanoparticles were first reported in the early 1990s with a simple spherical core
and shell structure, but the area is gradually diversifying in multiple directions such as …

Nanoparticle (NP) catalysis in liquid phase, which is usually called “soluble” NP catalysis, is
an old topic but is now well advanced due to the great progress in nano-chemistry and nano …

The origin of the extraordinary catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles is discussed on the
basis of density-functional calculations, adsorption studies on single crystal surfaces, and …

High power consumption is closely related to the high optimum operating temperature.
Therefore, the exploration of sensors with excellent sensing performance at low temperature …
