Enhancing surface reactivity with a noble metal.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold, the archetypal noble metal, is usually associated with an inhibition of surface reactivity by site blocking. In this paper however, we show that on Cu(100) surfaces a gold adlayer can actually increase the extent of reaction with the substrate.

Fabrication of Organic Solar Cells with Branched Cauliflower-Like Nano Structures as a Back Electrode Replicated from a Natural Template of Cicada Wing Patterns
Nanostructures of noble metal materials have been used in organic solar cells for enhancement of performance and light trapping. In this study, we have introduced branched silver cauliflower-like nanopatterns as sub-wavelength structured metal grating in organic solar cells. Self-assembled fabrication process of branched nanopatterns was carried out on a bio-template of cicada wing nanonipple a...

For the first time, this research reports the formation of nanoporous layers of metals on the surface of metal substrates by Raney method and their conversion to corresponding porous perovskite layers. The noble metals doped perovskites are used as catalytic converter for reducing automotive pollutants. The use of perovskite as a substrate for the noble metals can reduce the need for such metal...
متن کاملAdhesion of Streptococcus Mutans to Zirconia, Enamel, IPS Empress II, Noble Alloy and Base-metal: An In-Vitro Comparative Study
Introduction: With increased usage of restorative materials, dentists are more concerned in choosing a suitable material with lower adhesion of pathogens like streptococci. This comparative in vitro study aimed to compare adhesion of streptococcus mutans to zirconia, IPS Empress II, noble alloy, and base-metal. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 50 specimens (5 mm diameter disk ...
متن کاملPlasmonic Nanoparticles and Their Conjugates : Preparation , Optical Properties and Antimicrobial Activity
To manipulate the size of noble metal particles on a nanometer scale are priority subjects in the field of nanotechnology. So far various approaches have been developed to synthesize noble metal nanoparticles in controlled sizes and dimensions. Among them the colloidal systems become broadly used. These systems can be made up of several very different reactants and solvents: a continuous medium...
متن کاملCatalytic Effect of Metal Species on Enhancement of CO2 Gasification Reactivity of Biomass Char
In the Boudouard reaction, where CO2 is reacted with carbon (char) to produce CO, very high temperatures are required to shift the equilibrium towards CO production. This endothermic reaction is inherently slow and catalytic species are effective to speed up the reaction rate at temperatures below 900 °C. In this study, the catalytic effect of some alkali (K, Na), alkaline earth (Ca) and transi...
