Nitrophenol reduction to aminophenol with a reducing agent is conveniently carried out in
aqueous medium mainly with a metal or metal oxide catalyst. This reduction is presently …

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is the manifestation of a resonance effect due to the
interaction of conduction electrons of metal nanoparticles with incident photons. The …

The regulation of engineered nanoparticles requires a widely agreed definition of such
particles. Nanoparticles are routinely defined as particles with sizes between about 1 and …

Recovery and reuse of expensive catalysts after catalytic reactions are important factors for
sustainable process management. The aim of this Review is to highlight the progress in the …

The field of nanocatalysis (in which nanoparticles are used to catalyze reactions) has
undergone an exponential growth during the past decade. Two types of studies have been …

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are recent revolutionary developments of science and
engineering that are evolving at a very fast pace. They are driven by the desire to fabricate …

Nanoparticles of noble metals belong to the most extensively studied colloidal systems in
the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Due to continuing progress in the synthesis of …

While the nanocatalysis field has undergone an explosive growth during the past decade,
there have been very few studies in the area of shape-dependent catalysis and the effect of …

There is increasing interest and need to develop a deeper understanding of the nature, fate
and behaviour of nanoparticles in the environment. This is driven by the increased use of …

Nanoparticles are important catalysts for petroleum processing, energy conversion, and
pollutant removal. As compared to their bulk counterparts, their often superior or new …
