Magnetically-actuated mesoporous nanowires for enhanced heterogeneous catalysis

<p> We study the optimization of the catalytic properties of entirely magnetic Co&ndash;Pt compact and mesoporous nanowires of different diameters (25&ndash;200&nbsp;nm) by using magnetic actuation. The nanowires are a single-entity, robust, magnetic-catalyst with a huge catalytica...

description <p> We study the optimization of the catalytic properties of entirely magnetic Co&ndash;Pt compact and mesoporous nanowires of different diameters (25&ndash;200&nbsp;nm) by using magnetic actuation. The nanowires are a single-entity, robust, magnetic-catalyst with a huge catalytically-active surface area. We show that apart from conventional parameters, like the size and morphology of the nanowires, other factors can be optimized to enhance their catalytic activity. In particular, given the magnetic character of the nanowires, rotating magnetic fields are a very powerful approach to boost the performance of the catalyst.
