Catalysis by gold has rapidly become a hot topic in chemistry, with a new discovery being
made almost every week. Gold is equally effective as a heterogeneous or a homogeneous …

Surface functionalized magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are a kind of novel
functional materials, which have been widely used in the biotechnology and catalysis. This …

In this review, we discuss selected examples from recent literature on the role of the support
on directing the nanostructures of Au-based monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles. The …

Magnetic nanoparticles exhibit many interesting properties that can be exploited in a variety
of applications such as catalysis and in biomedicine. This review discusses the properties …

Gold nanocrystals absorbed on metal oxides have exceptional properties in oxidation
catalysis, including the oxidation of carbon monoxide at ambient temperatures, but the …

To clarify the discrepancies between oxygen vacancies (VO) types and concentrations, we
designed two types of VO by substituting Mn 4+ in akhtenskite-type MnO 2 with low-valence …

1. INTRODUCTION Bulk gold, being the most stable among all metals, was for many years
considered as an inert catalyst. However, gold particles with size on the scale of nanometers …

Single-atom catalysts have attracted great attention in recent years due to their high
efficiencies and cost savings. However, there is debate concerning the nature of the active …

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 …

Heterogeneous supported metal catalysts are critical for a wide range of chemical
conversion technologies. While the fundamental properties of extended metal surfaces are …
