A new article by Panagiotis Trogadas and Nidhi Kapil entitled 鈥淩apid synthesis of supported single metal nanoparticles and effective removal of stabilizing ligands鈥� has just been published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A, and can be viewed .

It showcases the effectiveness of an underestimated technique, electrospraying, on the rapid and controlled synthesis (< 30 min) of single metal nanoparticles. This synthesis method is demonstrated for the production of Ag and Au nanoparticles, which are incorporated onto carbonaceous and non-carbonaceous supports. The nanoparticle size depends on the internal diameter of the spraying nozzle, as the larger the nozzle diameter, the larger the produced particle size. This is very useful for materials chemistry, since it allows the production of nanoparticles with a desired size, tailored to the application.

This research at with Marc-Olivier Coppens was conducted in collaboration with the UCL Electrochemical Innovation Lab (EIL), Gyen Angel and Dan Brett, and the at TU Berlin, Stefanie K眉hl and .
