Supraparticles on beads for supported catalytically active liquid metal solutions - the SCALMS suprabead concept

Mater Horiz. 2023 Oct 30;10(11):4960-4967. doi: 10.1039/d3mh01020a.

Abstract

A novel GaPt-based supported catalytically active liquid metal solution (SCALMS) material is developed by exploiting the suprabead concept: Supraparticles, i.e. micrometer-sized particles composed of nanoparticles assembled by spray-drying, are bonded to millimeter-sized beads. The suprabeads combine macroscale size with catalytic properties of nanoscale GaPt particles entrapped in their silica framework.
