| 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. |
