Self-Assembly of Single Nanoparticles

WEBINAR

Catalyst activity can depend distinctly on nanoparticle size and shape. Therefore, understanding the structure sensitivity of catalytic reactions is of fundamental and technical importance. Experiments with single-particle resolution, where ensemble-averaging is eliminated, are required to study it. In this webinar, I will introduce how we are developing ways to prepare, and assemble single nanoparticles and single molecules at surfaces and in nanochannels. This allow us to study effects such as shape and size on the individual nanoparticle and molecule level, revealing structure-property relations in nanocatalysis and electron transfer processes.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Position individual nanoparticles and molecules at surfaces using self-assembly
• Use self-assembly to study the catalytic and thermodynamic properties of individual nanoparticles
• Use self-assembly to make electronic contact to single molecules
