Abstract excerpt
There is a lack of fundamental information about the molecular processes governing biomineralization of inorganic materials to produce nanostructures on biological templates. This information is essential for the directed synthesis of high quality nanomaterials via biotemplating. We characterized palladium (Pd) mineralization via the individual adsorption, reduction, and nanocrystal growth processes, which...
