Reactivity of Metal Nanoparticles

  • Chapter
Nanomaterials and Nanochemistry

This chapter will be concerned with the parameters governing interactions between metallic nanoparticles and a reactive surrounding material, and hence with the catalytic properties of such nanoparticles. Indeed, most industrial metal catalysts contain very costly metals, such as the precious metals at the end of the transition series and the noble metals, and must therefore have as large a surface-to-volume ratio as possible in order to economise the number of atoms required. This is the solution provided by nanoparticles.
