Using "Nano" Blocks to Make Stuff
Find out how we connect the microscopic world of Nanoparticles to macroscopic world!
01
Wulff model of a fcc-nanoparticle
The nanoparticle is enclosed by (100) and (111) facets.
02
Halve nanoparticle
When nanoparticles interact with another material, e.g. a metal oxide support, it may look like this.
03
Nanoparticles with varying sizes
The number of atoms in a nanoparticle determines its size!
04
Varying surface facets
Nanoparticles can look "spherical"-like under electron microscope but they actually have a non-spherical shape.
