Scientists Reveal the Net Charge in a Single Platinum Nanoparticle
The research also provides fundamental information for developing future catalysts.A tenfold increase in electron holography sensitivity exposes the net charge in a single platinum nanoparticle with a precision of just one electron.If you often find yourself off by one while counting your socks after doing the laundry, you might want to take a seat for this. Researchers from Japan have now counted the extra, or missing charges, in a single platinum nanoparticle with a diameter that is only a tenth of that of common…
