Surface Study of Nickel Phosphide and Cobalt Sulfide Nanoparticles for Heterogeneous Catalysis

<p>Compound metal nanoparticles have a large surface area-to-volume ratio, a high concentration of low coordination sites, and surface vacancies that give rise to properties favorable for heterogeneous catalytic processes. Nanoparticles are incorporated onto exterior supports, as they are unab...
