Different morphologies of silver nanoparticles as catalysts for the selective oxidation of styrene in the gas phase

Silver nanoparticles of different morphologies were prepared using the polyol process and then dispersed on alpha-alumina. Catalysts were tested for the selective oxidation of styrene in the gas phase. Activity and selectivity were strongly dependent on the morphology of the silver nanoparticles.
