The work demonstrates control over key properties leading to better performance.
MIT researchers and colleagues have demonstrated a way to precisely control the size, composition, and other properties of nanoparticles key to the reactions involved in a variety of clean energy and environmental technologies. They did so by leveraging ion irradiation, a technique in which beams of charged particles bombard a material.
They went on to show that nanoparticles created this way have superior performance over their conventionally made counterparts.
