Electrostatic reaction inhibition in nanoparticle catalysis
Yi-Chen Lin, Rafael Roa, Joachim Dzubiella
Electrostatic reaction inhibition in heterogeneous catalysis emerges if charged reactants and products are adsorbed on the catalyst and thus repel the approaching reactants. In thi…
Ionic structure around polarizable metal nanoparticles in aqueous electrolytes
Bendix Petersen, Rafael Roa, Joachim Dzubiella +1
Metal nanoparticles are receiving increased scientific attention owing to their unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for a wide range of applications in…
Enhanced Catalytic Activity of Gold@Polydopamine Nanoreactors with Multi-compartment Structure Under NIR Irradiation
Shilin Mei, Zdravko Kochovski, Rafael Roa +6
Photothermal conversion (PTC) nanostructures have great potential for applications in many fields, and therefore, they have attracted tremendous attention. However, the constructio…
Modeling of stimuli-responsive nanoreactors: rational rate control towards the design of colloidal enzymes
Matej Kanduc, Won Kyu Kim, Rafael Roa +1
In modern applications of heterogeneous liquid-phase nanocatalysis, the catalysts (e.g., metal nanoparticles) need to be typically affixed to a colloidal carrier system for stabili…
Catalysis by metallic nanoparticles in solution: Thermosensitive microgels as nanoreactors
Rafael Roa, Stefano Angioletti-Uberti, Yan Lu +3
Metallic nanoparticles have been used as catalysts for various reactions, and the huge literature on the subject is hard to overlook. In many applications, the nanoparticles must b…
Catalyzed bimolecular reactions in responsive nanoreactors
Rafael Roa, Won Kyu Kim, Matej Kanduc +2
We describe a general theory for surface-catalyzed bimolecular reactions in responsive nanoreactors, catalytically active nanoparticles coated by a stimuli-responsive 'gating' shel…
