Shape-Controlled Nanomaterials for Catalysis - Advances and Applications

The morphology-dependent unexpected properties of nanomaterials offer useful applications in nanotechnology. Development of effective synthetic methods for controlling size and shape of monodisperse nanocrystals presents a great challenge in materials science. Herein, new general approaches were developed for the synthesis of types of metal oxide, mixed metal oxide and hybrid metal/oxide nanocrystals. Effects of the size and shape of the hybrid metal/oxide nanostructures on catalytic activities of carbon monoxide conversion and photodegradation were verified.
