At the same time, Professor Graham Huthings of Cardiff University reported the effectiveness of gold nanoparticle catalysts in the synthesis of vinyl chloride from acetylene. Each study was done independently, and coincidentally the new phenomenon was reported in the same year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bulk gold is chemically inert, but very small nanoparticles (2-5 nm in diameter) are richly catalytic. Nearly 40 years after these publications, it has become common knowledge in the world of catalytic science research that gold nanoparticles are catalytic, and many catalytic activities have been found.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Professor Murayama has been a member of the Research Center for Gold Chemistry since 2015, which was led by Professor Emeritus Haruta, and has been appointed to lead the Research Center for Gold Chemistry since 2017, where he has conducted research. At this Institute for Catalysis, he continues his research on gold nanoparticle catalysts and also boosts research on their practical application.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webwire-check.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Fig-research-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1021\/acs.chemrev.9b00551\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1021\/acs.chemrev.9b00551<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold was thought to be chemically very stable and would not interact with molecules such as oxygen and hydroge [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":35,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-132","research_e","type-research_e","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_e\/132"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_e"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/research_e"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_e\/132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":133,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_e\/132\/revisions\/133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-mng.cwh.hokudai.ac.jp\/murayama.cat\/Root\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
