Kusada K. Creation of New Metal Nanoparticles and Their Hydrogen-Storage and Catalytic Properties

Springer, 2014. — 86 p.This thesis reports the discovery of metal nanoparticles having new structures that do not exist in bulk state and that exhibit hydrogen storage ability or CO oxidation activity. Research into the reaction of hydrogen with metals has attracted much attention because of potential applications as effective hydrogen storage materials, as permeable films, or as catalysts for hydrogenation
