Researchers at 9I制作厂免费 have discovered a new way to use nanomaterials of a particular size and shape to perform old chemistry in a new fashion. Their finding, , highlights the use of cubic silver nanoparticles to harvest light for the activation of hydrogen in their hydrogenation reactions. These silver nanocubes possess an optical property called the surface plasmon resonance and their paper explores the use of these special properties in catalysis.

A tiny bit of silver, combined with water and air, can convert aldehydes into acids efficiently -- instead of the classical methods using stoichiometric amounts of expensive or toxic metal oxidants, according to a new study by 9I制作厂免费 researchers.
