Synthesis and Characterization of Molecular Monolayer Directed Nanoscale Catalysts K i M Kevin M. M Metz, t D Department t t off Chemistry, Ch i t Albi Albion C College, ll Albi Albion, MI 49224 Our research aims to produce, study, and understand catalytically active metal nanoparticles on carbon substrates. Specifically, our research has focused on the synthesis of uniform metal nanoparticles p over large g areas and the catalytic y activity y of these p particles. This research could have significant impacts on synthetic organic chemistry, changing industrial methods for production.
