Synthesis, Characterization, and Potential Applications of Transition Metal Nanoparticles

Photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes: Pd-γ-Al2O3 and PdO-γ-Al2O3 as potential photocatalysts

“…Transition metal nanoparticles have been studied in several elds, such as catalysis, optics, biosensors, chiral separation, magnetic devices, solar cells, electronics and adsorbents. [5][6][7][8] The molecules in NPs are small and the percentage of molecules on the surface is high, and this property means that the NPs are very interesting for applications in catalysis. [9][10][11] The use of noble transition metal NPs as catalysts is limited by their scarcity and high cost.…”

Half Metallic Ferromagnetism and Transport Properties of Zinc Chalcogenides ZnX2Se4 (X = Ti, V, Cr) for Spintronic Applications

“…Therefore, advanced technology demands highly modern devices with reduce sizes and better efficiency. A few decades ago, the coupling of spin of electrons with its charge laid the basis for new debate among scientists and engineers across the globe, giving rise to an emerging field of spintronics [ 1 , 2 ]. This concept modernized quantum computing based on fast speed computers by calculating the spin current in spin up and spin down channels separately instead of charge in conventional electronics.…”

Efficient preparation of nanocatalysts. Case study: green synthesis of supported Pt nanoparticles by using microemulsions and mangosteen peel extract

“…In the microemulsion method, the NPs size can be controlled by the surfactant concentration (factor D), the amount of metal precursor (factor A), and the amount of reductant (factor B). [28][29][30] Another inuential factor in the activity is the degree of NP dispersion on the support material. If the agglomeration occurs, the nanocatalyst will be less active due to a loss in contact area.…”
