Catalytic nanoarchitectures—The importance of nothing and the unimportance of periodicity

Rolison, Debra R.·2003·Science

Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysis has always been an inherently nanoscopic phenomenon with important technological and societal consequences for energy conversion and the production of chemicals. New opportunities for improved performance arise when the multifunctionality inherent in catalytic processes, including molecular transport of reactants and products, is rethought in light of architectures designed and fabricated from the appropriate nanoscale building blocks, including the use of "nothing" (void space) and deliberate disorder as design components. Architectures with all of the appropriate electrochemical and catalytic requirements, including large surface areas readily accessible to molecules, may now be assembled on the benchtop. Designing catalytic nanoarchitectures that depart from the hegemony of periodicity and order offers the promise of even higher activity.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Porous materials present great value for applications in energy conversion and storage, catalysis, drug delivery, gas capture, and water purification.

    “With these unique features, porous materials present great value for applications in energy conversion and storage [132,133,134,135], catalysis [136], drug delivery [137], gas capture [138,139], and water purification [140,141].”

  • Larger pore size facilitates a more efficient diffusion of guest molecules within the pores.

    “Larger pore size facilitates a more efficient diffusion of guest molecules within the pores [136], and also allows the loading of metal catalyst particles [154,155].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
