N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become one of the most widely studied class of
ligands in molecular chemistry and have found applications in fields as varied as catalysis …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely explored and are well-known for their
medical applications. Chemical and physical synthesis methods are a way to make AuNPs …

The interface between metal catalyst and support plays a critical role in heterogeneous
catalysis. An epitaxial interface is generally considered to be rigid, and tuning its intrinsic …

Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) are ideal scaffolds for the fabrication of sensing devices
because of their high surface-to-volume ratio combined with their unique optical and …

General principles and recent developments in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)
are reviewed. The “in situ” Turkevich-Frens and Brust-Schiffrin methods are still major …

In this paper, we demonstrate and compare the synthesis of copper (Cu) and copper (I)
oxide on Cu (Cu/Cu 2 O) nanoparticles via thermal decomposition method using a …

Plasmonic metal nanostructures have garnered rapidly increasing interest as
heterogeneous photocatalysts, facilitating chemical bond activation and overcoming the …

The aggregative growth and oriented attachment of nanocrystals and nanoparticles are
reviewed, and they are contrasted to classical LaMer nucleation and growth, and to Ostwald …

Copper nanoparticles with different structural properties and effective biological effects may
be fabricated using new green protocols. The control over particle size and in turn size …

Abstract Ammonia borane H 3 Nsingle bondBH 3, first reported in 1955, is isoelectronic with
ethane H 3 Csingle bondCH 3, but it has much different properties owing to (i) the nitrogen …
