Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

Abstract

Chemical enhancement is formally introduced in this chapter. A brief introduction is given to discuss a few leads to the existence of chemical enhancement. Two type of chemical enhancement are described, both of which depends on catalysis. The reactions that support type 1 chemical enhancement are discussed. The role of scavengers on at least type 1 chemical enhancement is explained. Evidence for type 2 chemical enhancement is given and discussed. Other possible types of chemical enhancement are also briefly discussed.

Getting a degree and being educated are totally two different things—the first is a transaction and the second a transformation.
