Catalytic converters for cleaning exhaust emissions are more efficient when they use nanoparticles with many edges, according to a study carried out at the the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), a research center of the Helmholtz Association, X-ray source PETRA III. A team of scientists from the DESY NanoLab watched live as carbon monoxide (CO) was converted into CO 2 on the surface of noble metal nanoparticles such as those used in catalytic converters of cars.
