Abstract:Organic capping agents are a ubiquitous and crucial part of preparing reproducible and homogeneous batches of nanomaterials, particularly nanocrystals with well-defined facets. Despite studies reporting surface ligands (e.g., capping agents) having a non-negligible role in catalytic behavior, their impact is less understood in contaminant adsorption, an important consideration given their potential to obfuscate facet-dependent trends in performance. To ascribe observed behaviors to the facet or the ligand, thi… Show more
A sustainable catalyst development utilizing earth-abundant iron oxide (FeOx) nanoparticles for photochemical oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was achieved, generating a valuable green oxidant and future energy carrier.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
