Claims25
A catalytic nanoparticle comprising a silica core covalently attached to at least one dendrimer encompassing at least one metal catalyst, wherein said silica core is etched.
A catalytic nanoparticle comprising a silica core attached to at least one metal catalyst and an etched silica outer layer, wherein said metal catalyst is a nanoparticle of metal, wherein said metal in said metal catalyst is selected from the group consisting of platinum, ruthenium, iron, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, technetium, rhenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, nickel, palladium, copper, silver, zinc, tin, aluminum, and combinations thereof.
A catalytic nanoparticle comprising a silica core coated with at least one metal catalyst, and a hollow, nanoporous shell, wherein said hollow, nanoporous shell comprises a metal oxide, wherein said hollow, nanoporous shell encapsulates the metal catalyst coated silica core, and wherein said metal catalyst is a nanoparticle of metal.
