| Abstract: | Structural characterization by transmission electron microscopy of metal nanoparticle coatings on oxide nanospheres has been
employed to point out the potential of such materials for use as porous support model catalysts. On silica and titania nanospheres
of various origins surface-mediated metal deposition at mild temperature conditions has been utilized to fabricate Pt, Pd,
Ag, and Au nanoparticle coatings on the oxide supports. Promising coating characteristics have been achieved for Ag and Au
nanoparticles by direct reduction on terminating hydroxyl-rich St?ber silica. A high-resolution electron microscopy analysis
directed to surface stress, lattice contraction and planar lattice defects of the latter particles revealed no strong metal-support
interaction. |
