Researchers probe how nanoparticles affect neighbors in catalysis – Phys.org

Are you affected by your neighbors? So are nanoparticles in catalysts. New research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, published in the journals Science Advances and Nature Communications, reveals how the nearest neighbors determine how well nanoparticles work in a catalyst.
“The long-term goal of the research is to be able to identify super-particles, to contribute to more efficient catalysts in the future. To utilize the resources better than today, we also want as many particles…
