Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison study of the catalytic properties of Au-based nanocages, nanoboxes, and nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The kinetic data indicate that the Au-based nanocages are catalytically more active than both the nanoboxes and nanoparticles probably due to their extremely thin but electrically continuous walls, the high content of Au, and the accessibility of both inner and outer surfaces through the pores in the walls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the role of surface charges in cellular adsorption versus internalization by selectively removing gold nanoparticles on the cell surface with a I2/KI etchant.

TL;DR: An etching solution based on I2 and KI that can selectively dissolve the Au nanospheres on the cell surface within a short period of time is introduced that is capable of etching away a relatively large amount of Au Nanospheres at a low molar concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrospun Nanofibers: New Concepts, Materials, and Applications

TL;DR: The unique capabilities of electrospun nanofibers as porous supports for heterogeneous catalysis and as functional scaffolds for tissue regeneration are demonstrated by concentrating on some of the recent results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shape‐Controlled Synthesis of Metal Nanostructures: The Case of Palladium

TL;DR: In this article, shape-controlled synthesis of Pd nanostructures is discussed, where the reduction rate can be controlled to maneuver the crystallinity (single-crystal, single twinned, and multiple twinned) of seeds in the nucleation stage.
