The sensor is one of the most promising fields for application of nano-metal particles. The characteristics of nano
metal powders such as large surface area, high special activity and extra tidy is consistent with multi-functional, miniaturization and high-speed required by the sensors. In addition, as the sensor material, it also requires broad functions, high sensitivity, characteristics of fast response, wide detection range, good selectivity, high resistance, stable and reliable. Nano metal powder can better meet the above requirements.
In the chemical industry, nano-metal powder used catalysts, nano-materials to show their talents on the one hand. Such as ultra-fine boron powder and chromic acid ammonium powder can be used as explosives effective catalyst. Ultra fine platinum powder and tungsten carbide powder is efficient hydrogenation catalysts. Fine silver powder can be used as a catalyst for ethylene oxide; ultrafine nickel powder, silver powder light sintered body as chemical batteries, fuel cells and photochemical cell electrodes can increase the contact area between the liquid or gas. It also increases cell efficiency and becomes miniaturization.
Light sintering of the ultrafine metal powder porous filters can be generated as the adsorption of hydrogen
in micro-technology and nanotechnology research and development. In work in electronics, machinery and fluidics, SLAS has fostered an environment of high efficiency, refined accuracy and professional development for its members, who are at the forefront of R&D in their respective fields. Each laboratory they work in benefits greatly from SLAS’s involvement, especially in the automation and screening processes used in their work.
conventional sources of energy like coal will not last long. Naturally, there is a thrust for alternative options like solar energy, wind power and so on. However, due to certain bottlenecks these new age power generating options have not become fully operational yet. But thanks to cutting edge inventions, in this field, we can hope for better prospects in the near future. New research works in the vertical of semiconductor nanostructures (nano flakes) has shown bright sides in this regard. It will no doubt add pace to the endeavor for deriving clean energy from the Sun and help improving the practicality of solving the power crisis in the future world. Solar energy efficiency has reached to new heights, riding on nano flakes.
