Aluminum “Octopods” – Shape Matters for Light-Activated Nanocatalysts – SciTechDaily
Study: Pointed tips on aluminum ‘octopods’ increase catalytic reactivity. Points matter when designing nanoparticles that drive important chemical reactions using the power of light. Researchers at Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) have lo…
A study of aluminum nanocatalysts by Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics found that octopods (left), six-sided particles with sharply pointed corners, had a reaction rate five times higher than nanocubes (center) and 10 times higher than 14-sided nanocrystals.
