Tuning morphology, charge and reactivity of nanoparticles by support doping

Tuning morphology, charge and reactivity of nanoparticles by support doping

We showed that the morphology, charge and reactivity of supported Au nanoparticles can be tuned by doping the oxide substrate with an electron donor.

We showed that the temperature at which Cu nanoparticles get de-oxidized depends on both the size and the support.

We obtained simple yet successful descriptors for the self-assembly of organic molecules on surfaces.
