Sub‐Nanometer Thick Gold Nanosheets: Sub‐Nanometer Thick Gold Nanosheets as Highly Efficient Catalysts (Adv. Sci. 21/2019)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1900911, Stephen D. Evans and co-workers develop an ambient aqueous synthesis for preparing atomically-thin gold nanosheets (termed gold nanoseaweed, AuNSW, because of its morphology, color and aqueous growth). These AuNSWs represent the first free-standing 2D gold with a sub-nanometer thickness (0.47 nm, e.g., two atomic layers thick), and exhibit excellent catalysis performance in the model reaction of 4-nitrophenol reduction, as well as remarkable peroxidase-mimicking activity.
