  2. Catalytic oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_oxidation

    Catalytic oxidation. Catalytic oxidation are processes that rely on catalysts to introduce oxygen into organic and inorganic compounds. Many applications, including the focus of this article, involve oxidation by oxygen. Such processes are conducted on a large scale for the remediation of pollutants, production of valuable chemicals, and the ...

  3. Nanomaterial-based catalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterial-based_catalyst

    Nanomaterial-based catalysts are usually heterogeneous catalysts broken up into metal nanoparticles in order to enhance the catalytic process. Metal nanoparticles have high surface area, which can increase catalytic activity. Nanoparticle catalysts can be easily separated and recycled. [1][2][3] They are typically used under mild conditions to ...

    2 ; [4] [9] while in 1965 Kato and Mashio, Doerffler and Hauffe, and Ikekawa et al. (1965) explored oxidation/photooxidation of CO 2 and organic solvents from ZnO radiance. [4] [10] [11] [12] In 1970, Formenti et al. and Tanaka and Blyholde observed the oxidation of various alkenes and the photocatalytic decay of N 2 O, respectively. [4] [13] [14]

  5. Nanomaterials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanomaterials

    In ISO/TS 80004, nanomaterial is defined as the "material with any external dimension in the nanoscale or having internal structure or surface structure in the nanoscale", with nanoscale defined as the "length range approximately from 1 nm to 100 nm". This includes both nano-objects, which are discrete pieces of material, and nanostructured ...

  6. Nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology

    Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). At this scale, commonly known as the nanoscale, surface area and quantum mechanical effects become important in describing properties of matter. This definition of nanotechnology includes all types of research and technologies that deal ...

  7. Catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis

    Catalysis. An air filter that uses a low-temperature oxidation catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to less toxic carbon dioxide at room temperature. It can also remove formaldehyde from the air. Catalysis (/ kəˈtæləsɪs /) is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst[1][2] (/ ˈkætəlɪst /).

  8. Local oxidation nanolithography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_oxidation...

    Local oxidation nanolithography ( LON) is a tip-based nanofabrication method. It is based on the spatial confinement on an oxidation reaction under the sharp tip of an atomic force microscope . The first materials on which LON was demonstrated were Si (111) and polycrystalline tantalum. Subsequently, the technique has been extended to III – V ...

  9. Nanowire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanowire

    Portals. Electronics portal. v. t. e. A nanowire is a nanostructure in the form of a wire with the diameter of the order of a nanometre (10 −9 m). More generally, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length.
