Nanostructured Materials for Catalysis

Nanostructured materials for photon detection.

The detection of photons underpins imaging, spectroscopy, fibre-optic communications and time-gated distance measurements. Nanostructured materials are attractive for detection applications because they can be integrated with conventional silicon electronics and flexible, large-area substrates, and can be processed from the solution phase using established techniques such as spin casting, spray...

Chiral catalysis with nanostructured supports

In spite of the inherent advantages of reuse and stability of immobilized chiral catalysts, they are frequently not enough to justify the effort necessary to immobilize the chiral complexes, unless additional advantages are found. When chiral catalysts are immobilized on solids with surface and pores of well controlled size, shape and dimensionality, the solid may act as a nano-reactor reducing...

Functional Nanostructured Molecular Materials

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Fall 2001 here has been tremendous recent interest in the design and assembly of porous nanostructured materials.1 Synthetic approaches range from coordination-polymer formation to surfactant-templated alumino-silicate growth to semiconductor nanoparticle aggregation, while functions include chemical catalysis, chemical sensing, energy storage, and energy...
