Metal nanodisks using bicellar templates
| DWPI Title: Metal nanodisk comprises hub-like metal structure approximately circular metal nanodisk, and dendritic metal nanosheet extending radially out from the hub-like metal structure |
| Abstract: Metallic nanodisks and a method of making them. The metallic nanodisks are wheel-shaped structures that that provide large surface areas for catalytic applications. The metallic nanodisks are grown within bicelles (disk-like micelles) that template the growth of the metal in the form of approximately circular dendritic sheets. The zero-valent metal forming the nanodisks is formed by reduction of a metal ion using a suitable electron donor species. |
| Use: A metal nanodisk (claimed). |
| Advantage: Nanodisks have larger rims. |
| Novelty: A metal nanodisk comprises hub-like metal structure approximately circular metal nanodisk, and dendritic metal nanosheet extending radially out from the hub-like metal structure. |
