Understanding core-shell nanoparticle growth
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Many catalysts are made using core-shell nanoparticles, in which the core is a structurally important or inexpensive material and the thin shell surrounding it is an expensive metal such as platinum. Since catalytic reactions occur on the surface, this helps to reduce the amount of platinum required and therefore lowers costs. Crystal structures are described based on the smallest repeating unit of the crystal (the unit cell) using the Bravais lattice system. Three important crystal structures a
