Nanomaterials of high surface energy with exceptional properties in catalysis and energy storage

摘要: The properties of nanomaterials for use in catalytic and energy storage applications strongly depends on the nature their surfaces. Nanocrystals with high surface have an open structure possess a density low-coordinated step kink atoms. Possession such features can lead to exceptional properties. current barrier widespread industrial is found difficulty synthesise nanocrystals high-energy In this critical review we present progress made producing shape-controlled synthesis using electrochemical wet chemistry techniques. Important as nanocrystal catalysts based Pt, Pd, Au Fe, metal oxides TiO2 SnO2, well lithium Mn-rich are covered. Emphasis electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, gas sensor ion batteries extensively discussed. Finally, future synopsis about emerging given (139 references).
