The goal of catalyst characterization is to understand the structure and properties of a
catalytic material and how they ultimately affect catalytic performance. However, pitfalls in …

Almost 40 years have passed since the publication of my first contribution to this journal, or,
to be precise, to its antecedent. I was then at the start of my career, and it is appropriate now …

Silver nanoparticles in the size range of 2–5 nm were synthesized extracellularly by a silver-
tolerant yeast strain MKY3, when challenged with 1 mM soluble silver in the log phase of …

This contribution is a preprint of one chapter of Professor Wang's edited new book
“Characterization of Nanophase Materials”(ISBN 3–527–29837–1), published by WILEY …

Vulcan XC-72 carbon-supported Pt− Ni alloy nanoparticle catalysts with different Pt/Ni
atomic composition were prepared via the carbonyl complex route and their structure was …

The infrared stretching frequencies of linear-bonded carbon monoxide on face, edge and
corner atoms have been identified with four platinum catalysts. The metal particles were …

Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the adsorption of water in
single-walled (6: 6),(8: 8),(10: 10),(12: 12), and (20: 20) carbon nanotubes in the 248–548 K …

Carbon supported Pt− Au catalysts with different bimetallic compositions were prepared by
water in oil (w/o) microemulsion. Carbon Vulcan XC-72 was added during the synthesis of …

We present a method for characterizing ultrasmall (< 2 nm) supported crystallites with
benchtop XRD. Central to the method is an understanding of the intensity effects at play; …

Extensive research has been devoted to the assignment of IR bands of CO adsorbed on Pt
nanoparticles, which are widely used in heterogeneous and electrocatalysis (eg fuel cells) …
