Team Bridges Nanocatalyst Size Gap for Real-Time Data
COLUMBIA, S.C., and HOUSTON, June 9, 2014 — Obtaining real-time reaction information from nanocatalysts has long impeded attempts to describe them in detailed kinetic behavior. But a team from the University of South Carolina and Rice University has discovered just how to do it. The researchers were able to bridge a size gap, representing a wide chasm. According to Hui Wang, a lead researcher and assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry at South Carolina, metals such as silver, gold, platinum and palladium must be
