Controlling selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis is critical for the design of environmentally
friendly catalytic processes that minimize the production of undesired byproducts and …

Catalytic selectivity in the epoxidation of ethylene to form ethylene oxide on alumina‐
supported silver catalysts is dependent on the geometric structure of catalytically active Ag …

Owing to the unique and tunable optical, plasmonic and electrical properties of silver
nanowires, they are widely used as the templates for the preparation of Au or Pt nanotubes …

Understanding the colloidal stability of nanoparticles (NPs) plays a key role in
phenomenological interpretation of toxicological experiments, particularly if single NPs or …

Electron microscopy studies suggest that silver nanowires prepared by an approach
reported earlier by us (Caswell, KK, Bender, CM, Murphy, CJ Nano Lett., 2003, 3, 667− 669) …

In this work, hydrogen isotopes in the form of protium and deuterium were rapidly desorbed
from magnetic-hydride iron oxide-palladium (Fe2O3-Pd) hybrid nanomaterials using an …

Noble-metal nanoparticles are interesting materials for optics and optoelectronics because
they exhibit surface plasmon resonances in the visible spectral range. The location and the …

We report a class of core–shell nanomaterials that can be used as efficient surface-
enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. The core consists of silver nanowires …

Exposure to plasma can significantly increase the surface area of silver species and their
resistance to oxidation. While some work investigating plasma-treated silver has been done …

In this chapter we present recent advances in synthesis, characterization, optical, catalytic
and physico-chemical properties of nanoscale materials with potential applications in fuel …
