In this review, a brief survey is offered on the main nanotechnology synthetic approaches
available to heterogeneous catalysis, and a few examples are provided of their usefulness …

Although gold is the subject of one of the most ancient themes of investigation in science, its
renaissance now leads to an exponentially increasing number of publications, especially in …

Reducing the size of metal nanoparticles down to the single-atom level has been actively
pursued to maximize the use of precious metals. Recently, single-atom catalysts, in which all …

Minimizing the use of precious metal catalysts is important in many applications. Single-
atom catalysts (SACs) have received much attention because all of the metal atoms can be …

Interest in catalysis by metal nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing dramatically, as reflected by
the large number of publications in the last five years. This field,“semi‐heterogeneous …

Core− shell nanocomposites (R− Au) bearing well-defined gold nanoparticles as surface
atoms of variable sizes (8− 55 nm) have been synthesized exploiting polystyrene-based …

Gold has traditionally been regarded as inactive as a catalytic metal. However, the advent of
nanoparticulate gold on high surface area oxide supports has demonstrated its high catalytic …

Gold nanoparticles supported on different oxides (SiO2, CeO2 and TiO2) were prepared by
the SMAD (solvated metal atom dispersion) and deposition–precipitation (DP) techniques …

Ligand exchange reactions of 1.5-nm triphenylphosphine-stabilized nanoparticles with ω-
functionalized thiols provides a versatile approach to functionalized, 1.5-nm gold …

Amidoxime surface functionalized bacterial cellulose (AOBC) has been successfully
prepared by a simple two-step method without obviously changing the morphology of …
