Face to Face: Understanding and utilizing nanoscale materials in catalysis requires control not only over size and shape, but also over surface structuring. A recent study by O′Brien et al. demonstrated the assembly of nanoscale ceria by growth at liquid–liquid interfaces, which, by alteration of growth times, pH values, and temperatures, affords a high level of control over ceria particle size.
