About the author

Karine Philippot is a senior CNRS researcher and head of the team ‘Engineering of Metal Nanoparticles’ at the Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry of Toulouse (France). Her current research interests concern the synthesis of metal nanoparticles and composite nanomaterials by using molecular chemistry concepts for their application in colloidal or supported catalysis and in the domain of energy. She is the co-author of 160 scientific publications, 9 book chapters, 6 patents, and co-editor of the book ‘Nanomaterials in Catalysis’ (2013, Wiley-VCH).

Alain Roucoux is full professor at the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Rennes (France) and head of the ‘Nanocatalysis’ group at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes. His research is focused on the synthesis of noble and transition metal nanoparticles in water for surface reactivity in polyphasic catalysis. He is the author of 100 international scientific publications, 5 book chapters, and 9 patents.
