General principles and recent developments in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)
are reviewed. The “in situ” Turkevich-Frens and Brust-Schiffrin methods are still major …

Recent progress in surface-initiated polymerization enables the deliberate polymer
modification of nanoscopic surfaces with high levels of precision. This has given rise to the …

A study of particle size effects during the catalytic CO2 electroreduction on size-controlled
Cu nanoparticles (NPs) is presented. Cu NP catalysts in the 2–15 nm mean size range were …

In recent years, the field of catalysis has experienced an astonishing transformation, driven
in part by more demanding environmental standards and critical societal and industrial …

Exciting new opportunities are emerging in the field of catalysis based on nanotechnology
approaches. A new understanding and mastery of catalysis could have broad societal …

Although gold is the subject of one of the most ancient themes of investigation in science, its
renaissance now leads to an exponentially increasing number of publications, especially in …

Interest in catalysis by metal nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing dramatically, as reflected by
the large number of publications in the last five years. This field,“semi‐heterogeneous …

Photothermal processes in plasmonic nanoparticles have been at the basis of a decade of
burgeoning activities that set the field of thermoplasmonics. Here, we present an overview of …

A novel glucose biosensor based on immobilization of glucose oxidase in thin films of
chitosan containing nanocomposites of graphene and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) at a gold …

Although the term 'confinement'regularly appears in electrochemical literature, elevated by
continuous progression in the research of nanomaterials and nanostructures, up until today …
