Despite the large number of studies on the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to CO and
hydrocarbons by metal nanoparticles, the nature of the active sites and the reaction …

Nanoparticulate materials are experiencing increasing attention mainly because of the
unique combination of small size, exotic properties and processability, opening the …

Gold nanostructures have attracted widespread attention due to their novel optical,
electronic, and biocompatible properties. These make gold nanostructures (and in particular …

We report on the experimental observation of magnetic hysteresis up to room temperature in
thiol-capped Au nanoparticles with 1.4 nm size. The coercive field ranges from 860 Oe at 5 K …

The local atomic structure and chemical nature of newly synthesized silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) functionalized with the organic thiol allylmercaptane (AM) have been probed …

It is well known that the physical properties of materials are modified when their size is
reduced to the nanoscale due to size and surface effects. In the past years, with the …

Complex core@ shell and core@ shell@ shell nanoparticles are systems that combine the
functionalities of the inner core and outer shell materials together with new physico-chemical …

Careful control of the size, shape, and composition allows the properties of various noble
metals, particularly palladium and platinum, to be varied, which leads to a wide range of …

The origin of orbital magnetism recently observed in different nanostructured films and
particles is discussed as a consequence of spin-orbit coupling. It is shown that contact …

Mesoporous silica, which shows well-defined pore systems, tunable pore diameters (2–30
nm), narrow pore size distributions and high surface areas (> 600 m2 g− 1), is frequently …
