Continuous production of nanostructured particles using spatial atomic

In this paper, the authors demonstrate a novel spatial atomic layer deposition (ALD) process based on pneumatic transport of nanoparticle agglomerates. Nanoclusters of platinum (Pt) of ?1?nm diameter are deposited onto titania (TiO2) P25 nanoparticles resulting to a continuous production of an active photocatalyst (0.12–0.31?wt. % of Pt) at a...

Thermal stability of gas phase magnesium nanoparticles

In this work we present a unique transmission electron microscopy study of the thermal stability of gas phase synthesized Mg nanoparticles, which have attracted strong interest as high capacity hydrogen storage materials. Indeed, Mg nanoparticles with a MgO shell ( ? 3?nm thick) annealed at 300?°C show evaporation, void formation, and void...
