Design and Construction of a High Vacuum Surface Analysis Instrument to Study Chemistry at Nanoparticulate Surfaces

Metal oxide and metal oxide-supported metal nanoparticles can adsorb and decompose chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and their simulants. Nanoparticle activity depends on several factors including chemical composition, particle size, and support, resulting in a vast number of materials with potential...
