The ultra-small Pd NPs stabilized by the amine-rich silica hollow nanosphere with a TOF as high as 5052 h−1 are among the most active solid catalysts for quinoline hydrogenation. The high catalytic activity could be mainly attributed to the ultra-small particle size and high surface electron density of Pd NPs.

Ultrafine amorphous PtP nanoparticles supported on carbon black were prepared. Comparison of electrocatalytic performance of the samples with different levels of crystallinity showed ultrafine amorphous PtP nanoparticles have high catalytic activity for methanol oxidation due to their small particle size and amorphous structure.

Aimed by reducing the total cost of products, powder metallurgy (PM) processing of Ti is a subject of high interest. However, using of conventional PM techniques presents difficulties due to the intrinsic characteristics of Ti, like low strain ability, and high reactivity, which lead to low compressibility. Moreover, Ti powders with small particle size are difficult to process by conventional PM techniques as they present a lower compressibility and also a poor flowability. On the other hand, the colloidal processing has been used for long in ceramics to achieve green bodies with high densities, complex shapes and homogeneous microstructures, but they are rarely used to shape metal powders because of its high density and high surface reactivity. However, the possibility to process fine particles makes these techniques interesting for metals with low density like Ti.The colloid-chemistry control of metallic powders in aqueous slurries is proposed as a way to prepare Ti porous parts with small particle size, throughout the formulation of aqueous slurries with solid contents as high as 50 vol.%. The chemical and chemical-physic stability of Ti powders 10 μm in size was determined by measuring the zeta potential as a function of pH, and dispersant concentration, while the later optimization of Ti slurries and their adequation for the use of different colloidal techniques, were studied in terms of rheology and the addition of the processing additives, such as gel or foaming agents. Techniques such as thermal gelling, foaming, and impregnation of exo-templates or robocasting were used to build Ti parts with random and/or tailored macroporosity. The shaped pieces made on Ti were sintered in vacuum at 1100 oC for 30 minutes, and their microstructure and mechanical properties were determined and compared with dense materials shaped by combining PM and colloidal techniques in previous works

Rasashastra deals with the Rasa Aushadhis, the drugs of metallic and mineral origin. Mercury is used in most of the Rasaaushadhis. The toxicity of Mineral and metallic preparations are reduced to such an extent by various procedures of Shodhana, Marana etc. that Mercury converts its inherent property of toxicity into medicinal property. Rasa Aushadhis works quickly on the body because due to their small particle size, their absorption starts from the oral mucosa itself. The action of drugs depends largely upon the Anupana i.e. the vehicle for the drug. Rasacharayas have mentioned various Rasa preparations like Bhasmas, Parpati, Pottali, Manduras, Karpooras etc. along with their doses, dose schedule and Anupana / Sahapana etc. The principles of Rasaaushadhis when correlated in modern era are found to be scientifically accurate. We may say that Rasacharyas had already mastered the science of nanotechnology, purification, action of metabolic catalysts, biotransformation and preservation of medicines. The Ayurvedic drugs can be harmful for our body when not administered in proper dosage as per mentioned in classic literatures.

Novel flower-shaped C-dots/Co3O4{111} with dual-reaction centers were constructed to improve the Fenton-like reaction activity and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) conversion to sulfate radicals. Due to the exposure of a high surface area and Co3O4{111} facets, flower-shaped C-dots/Co3O4{111} could provide more Co(II) for PMS activation than traditional spherical Co3O4{110}. Meanwhile, PMS was preferred for adsorption on Co3O4{111} facets because of a high adsorption energy and thereby facilitated the electron transfer from Co(II) to PMS. More importantly, the Co–O–C linkage between C-dots and Co3O4{111} induced the formation of the dual-reaction center, which promoted the production of reactive organic radicals (R•). PMS could be directly reduced to SO4−• by R• over C-dots. On the other hand, electron transferred from R• to Co via Co–O–C linkage could accelerate the redox of Co(II)/(III), avoiding the invalid decomposition of PMS. Thus, C-dots doped on Co3O4{111} improved the PMS conversion rate to SO4−• over the single active site, resulting in high turnover numbers (TONs). In addition, TPR analysis indicated that the optimal content of C-dots doped on Co3O4{111} is 2.5%. More than 99% of antibiotics and dyes were degraded over C-dots/Co3O4{111} within 10 min. Even after six cycles, C-dots/Co3O4{111} still remained a high catalytic activity.
