Metal nanoparticles can catalyze reactions involving organic free radicals. From the first
studies focused on the catalytic reduction of water by free radicals until today, the catalytic …

The ability of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to catalyze reactions involving radicals is poorly
studied. However, AuNPs are used in applications where chemical reactions involving …

Methyl-peroxyl radicals react with Au0 and Ag0 nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous
suspensions in fast reaction with rate constants which approach the diffusion-controlled limit …

Nanomaterials can enhance the effect of X-rays, but the mechanisms of enhancement can
be complicated. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used here to shed light on …

Although gold is generally considered to be a relatively inert metal, supported gold
nanoparticles have demonstrated exceptionally high catalytic activity for the oxidation of …

A facile approach for dendrimer stabilized gold nanoparticles and their application in the
generation of hydroxyl radicals has been developed. Dendrimer stabilized AuNP‐1 exhibits …

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to study the interactions
between stable free radicals and gold nanoparticles. The nitroxyl free radicals used were …

Engineered metallic nanoparticles, which are found in numerous applications, are usually
