A THERMALLY STABLE NANO-CATALYST

摘要

This invention relates to a titanium dioxide catalyst particle, the catalyst particle comprising rutile nanorods having metal nanoparticles deposited at or near the free ends of the nanorods, which is suitable to catalyze reactions after exposure to temperatures above 550 deg C. The invention also provides for the use of a catalyst particle in catalyzing reactions and a method of catalyzing reactions, the catalyst particle being suitable to catalyze reactions after exposure to temperatures about 550 deg C.
