Studies of individual nanoparticles can be the key to future catalysis

Studying catalytic processes on one single nanoparticle at a time, instead of on several billion simultaneously as has previously been the case, will create unique and more in-depth understanding of catalytic reactions on nanoparticles than previously possible – and it will at the same time lay the foundation for a new and sustainable energy technology and chemical synthesis. This is the point of departure for a five-year research project at Chalmers University of Technology that has been granted close to SEK 36 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
