The structure of catalysts determines the performance of catalytic processes. Intrinsically, the
electronic and geometric structures influence the interaction between active species and the …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely explored and are well-known for their
medical applications. Chemical and physical synthesis methods are a way to make AuNPs …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become one of the most widely studied class of
ligands in molecular chemistry and have found applications in fields as varied as catalysis …

The interface between metal catalyst and support plays a critical role in heterogeneous
catalysis. An epitaxial interface is generally considered to be rigid, and tuning its intrinsic …

General principles and recent developments in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)
are reviewed. The “in situ” Turkevich-Frens and Brust-Schiffrin methods are still major …

Over the past decade, the subject of “greener chemistry" and chemical processes has been
emphasized. The “greener chemistry” improves environmental efficiency in reducing the …

In this paper, we demonstrate and compare the synthesis of copper (Cu) and copper (I)
oxide on Cu (Cu/Cu 2 O) nanoparticles via thermal decomposition method using a …

Copper nanoparticles with different structural properties and effective biological effects may
be fabricated using new green protocols. The control over particle size and in turn size …

The aggregative growth and oriented attachment of nanocrystals and nanoparticles are
reviewed, and they are contrasted to classical LaMer nucleation and growth, and to Ostwald …

Abstract Ammonia borane H 3 Nsingle bondBH 3, first reported in 1955, is isoelectronic with
ethane H 3 Csingle bondCH 3, but it has much different properties owing to (i) the nitrogen …
