Microgranules and Nanoparticles on Their Surfaces

This review considers advances in the fabrication of metallic, oxide, sulfide, carbon, BN, and other microgranules-the building blocks of porous materials for various applications. It is shown that attaching nanoparticles to the surface of microgranules alters some of the most important properties of the matrix and offers the possibility of creating composite materials with unique physical properties and reactivity.
