Solvated Metal Atoms in the Preparation of Catalytic Membranes

Catalytic exploitation; Catalytic membrane permeability - slightly modified with respect to the one in the absence of metal; Metal particles deposition onto polymeric membranes - carried out by chemical reduction from metal salts water solutions; Metal vaporisation chemistry; providing a valuable synthetic route - to weakly stabilised nanostructured homo- and heterometallic particles; Palladium on alumina membranes; Platinum on silica membranes; Preparation of catalytic membranes; Silica and platinum distribution - within the membrane; SMA; handled at low temperature - under inert atmosphere; suitable precursors for deposition of nanostructured metal particles; Solvated metal atoms - in catalytic membrane preparation
