Plasma-based post-processing of colloidal nanocrystals for applications in heterogeneous catalysis

Abstract

This review summarizes the work on the use of plasmas to post-process nanostructures, in particular colloidal nanocrystals, as promising candidates for applications of heterogeneous catalysis. Using plasma to clean or modify the surface of nanostructures is a more precisely controlled method compared to other conventional methods, which is preferable when strict requirements for nanostructure morphology or chemical composition are necessary. The ability of plasma post-processing to create mesoporous materials with high surface areas and controlled microstructure, surfaces, and interfaces has transformational potential in catalysis and other applications that leverage surface/interface processes.
