Faraday Discussion 152: Gold
4 – 6 July 2011, Cardiff, UK
Submit your abstract for oral presentation by 10 September 2010
FD152 will focus on the origins of high catalytic activity observed with gold nanoparticles. The aim is to bring together the catalysis and surface science communities with materials scientists and theoreticians, so that new insights can be gained.
