The selective hydrogenation of CO2 to value-added chemicals is attractive but still
challenged by the high-performance catalyst. In this work, we report that gallium nitride …

CTAB-stabilized gold nanoparticles were synthesized by applying the seeding-growth
approach in order to gain information about the size dependence of the catalytic reduction of …

A sound knowledge and understanding of the thermal stability of nanowires is a prerequisite
for the reliable implementation of nanowire-based devices. We investigate the morphology …

With infrared spectroscopic microscopy using synchrotron light, the authors studied resonant
light scattering from single metal nanowires with diameters in the 100 nm range and with …

As typical one‐dimensional nanostructures for waveguiding tightly confined optical fields
beyond the diffraction limit, metal nanowires have been used as versatile nanoscale …

Catalysts play a significant role in many chemical processes to accelerate the reactions.
However, the screening of a specific catalyst for one particular reaction usually requires …

It has been demonstrated that the mechanical properties of materials change significantly
when external dimensions are confined to the nanoscale. Currently, the dominant fabrication …
