Iridium Nanoparticles

Iridium Nanoparticles

Iridium Nanoparticles is fundamental importance in a variety of chemical reactions. It is usually found in nature as a natural element or as alloys. Ir Nanoparticles has a wide range of uses, including catalytic, medical, and industrial. It is responsible for breaking down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, Iridium Nanoparticles can be useful in solving food crises through artificial photosynthesis and energy crises through splitting water to produce fuel hydrogen (green energy). Among its various applications, catalytic action is the most important area of iridium and its complexes in many industrial productions, including allyl substitution, hydrogen transfer reactions, hydrogenation, and functionalization of the CH bond. For a long time, iridium and its complexes have been used as good catalysts, but after the development of nanotechnology, the use of this element has increased significantly. This is due to the extraordinary properties of nanoparticles: particle size, charges, and energies etc.
