Nanometal materials play very important roles in solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion due
to their unique catalytic and optical characteristics. They have found wide applications from …

Au is usually viewed as an inert metal, but surprisingly it has been found that Au
nanoparticles less than 3–5 nm in diameter are catalytically active for several chemical …

Gold nanocrystals absorbed on metal oxides have exceptional properties in oxidation
catalysis, including the oxidation of carbon monoxide at ambient temperatures, but the …

The high level of carbon monoxide (CO) in the atmosphere represents a serious health and
environmental problem, thus many techniques were used to reduce CO concentration. The …

The rapid development in recent years of the proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell
technology has stimulated research in all areas of fuel processor catalysts for hydrogen …

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 …

Numerous experimental and theoretical studies are currently being performed which are
aimed at understanding why gold starts to catalyse these reactions when its dimensions go …

Over the course of the commercial fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), catalyst deactivation occurs
both reversibly, as a result of side reactions that eventually yields coke, and irreversibly, due …

The origin of the extraordinary catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles is discussed on the
basis of density-functional calculations, adsorption studies on single crystal surfaces, and …

Red mud is a by-product of bauxite processing through Bayer process. The amount of red
mud generated depends largely on the type of ore used and the processing. Use of red mud …
