The support plays an important role for supported metal catalysts by positioning itself as a
macromolecular ligand, which conditions the nature of the active site and contributes …

Supported metal nanoparticles are widely used as catalysts in the industrial production of
chemicals, but still suffer from deactivation because of metal leaching and sintering at high …

This article provides a comprehensive review of current research activities that concentrate
on one‐dimensional (1D) nanostructures—wires, rods, belts, and tubes—whose lateral …

The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

Catalysis, as a key and enabling technology, plays an increasingly important role in fields
ranging from energy, environment and agriculture to health care. Rational design and …

A seed‐mediated growth approach to improved monodispersity of nanoparticles that
involves controlling nucleation and growth in solution is presented. Using this approach …

Short gold nanorods of average lengths ranging between 20 and 100 nm (with
corresponding aspect ratios of 2 and 4) were synthesized in excellent yield (∼ 97%). These …

A self‐seeding process is used to generate bicrystalline silver nanowires by reducing
AgNO3 with ethylene glycol at∼ 160° C. The key to the success of this solution‐phase …

Soon after the discovery of carbon nanotubes, it was realized that the theoretically predicted
mechanical properties of these interesting structures–including high strength, high stiffness …

It is predicted theoretically and understood experimentally that carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
possess excellent physical and chemical properties and have wide-range potential …
