Nanoalloys: Recent Developments and Future Perspectives

There are several fundamental challenges that are yet to be resolved within the field of nanoalloys, including a comprehensive understanding of their structure and properties and how they can be used in the design of catalysts, nanomagnets and nano-optic devices. There is a need for theoretical models to be developed which can provide clues with regards to the preparation and potential applications of various nanoalloys in realistic environments. The unique format of the Faraday Discussions meetings enables in-depth discussions across the full scope of the field, offering new perspectives in their structures, properties and subsequent applications. This volume brings together leading experts from across the globe interested in bi- and multimetallic nanoalloys to explore and exchange ideas on recent developments and future possibilities. In this volume the topics covered are organised into the following themes: Nanoalloy structures Nanoalloy catalysis Magnetic and optical properties of nanoalloys Applications of nanoalloys
