The present invention discloses the use of a metal nanoparticle which comprises at least one semiconductor attached to it, wherein the at least one semiconductor is an atomic quantum cluster (AQC) consisting of between 2 and 55 zero-valent transition metal atoms, as photocatalysts in photocatalytic processes and applications thereof.

Photoconversion of light using metal supported atomic quantum clusters

Stable atomic quantum clusters, AQCs, characterized by being composed of at least 500 metal atoms, its production process characterized by having a kinetic control and by maintaining a low concentration of reagents in the reaction medium, as well as the uses of these clusters as sensors (fluorescent, magnetic or chemical), electrocatalysts and as cytostatics and/or cytotoxics.

Stable atomic quantum clusters, production method thereof and use of same

The present invention relates to a new method for preparing anisotropic metal nanoparticles with high aspect ratios and different types of structures by means of catalysis by Atomic Quantum Clusters (AQCs).

Process for preparing anisotropic metal nanoparticles

Process to obtain ultra fine magnetic Nd-Fe-B particles of various sizes, which can cause a reaction in different kinetic conditions, between compounds of Nd, Fe and B in the sine of micro-emulsions formed by water, oil and a surface-active agent, in different thermodynamic conditions.
