6. Applications of the catalytic properties of gold nanoparticles
At the present stage of knowledge, it is very difficult to separate fundamental effects from industrial applications. Indeed, as mentioned in 3 , the underlying reasons for the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles have not yet been clearly elucidated. This research is therefore still very much dependent on experimental illustrations of the specific catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles. Nevertheless, we can...
