We introduce a new method for performing and miniaturizing many types of heterogeneous catalysis involving nanoparticles. The method makes use of the plasmon resonance present in nanoscale metal catalysts to provide the necessary heat of reaction when illu ...
Since few decades the search of new catalysts formulations for fuel cell applications has motivated numerous projects especially due to the future lack of fossil fuel, environmental and economical reasons. Consequently, Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell (DAFC) or D ...
Supported metal catalysts are important from both an industrial and a scientific point of view. They are used, amongst others, in large-scale processes such as catalytic reforming, hydrotreating, polymerization reactions and hydrogenations. Often, these ca ...
Using petrol as a main source of energy, during the 20th century, has caused considerable amounts of damage among which are atmospheric pollution and global warming. At the same time, many geologists and economists expect that the discovery rate of new pet ...
This paper is concerned with an investigation of electron transfer between cytochrome P450scc (CYP11A1) immobilized on nanostructured rhodium-graphite electrodes. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were deposited onto the rhodium-graphite electrodes by ...
We report on the properties of electrochemically modified SWCNTs bearing a functional organic layer and a low density of noble metal nanoparticles, respectively. First, a novel approach to nanoscale pH sensors is demonstrated which involves the gentle modi ...
Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is composed of 2130 identical coat protein subunits following the right-handed helix of an accompanying RNA strand to produce a 300 nm hollow cylinder with an outer diameter of 18 nm and a 4 nm wide central channel. In this work, ...
The search of new energy sources has motivated during the last few years numerous research projects due to environmental, economical and political reasons. One of the main subjects of these works is the development of fuel cells. Within this framework the ...
Bimetallic Pt/Sn nanoparticles, synthesized by the microemulsion method, have been investigated once deposited on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) substrate electrode. Nanoparticles are in the nano-size domain and their effective composition corresponds to thei ...
Catalytic Chemical Vapour Deposition (CCVD) is considered as the most suitable technique for the large scale and low-cost production of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. We have studied the effect of the preparation process, and of the support particle size on ...
