The laser method for creating new nanomaterials for electronic technology and organic synthesis

The mini-review contains information describing a narrow range of organic catalysis processes that occur on metal nanoparticles and their oxides. These nanoparticles are formed as a result of laser deposition of metals from aqueous solutions, which simultaneously represent reactive organic mixtures. The mechanisms of dynamic (at the time of nucleation and primary growth of metal nanoparticles) and static (after the formation of a nano-deposit and subsequent growth of microcrystals) catalysis are discussed. Examples of dynamic catalysis in organic synthesis reactions (including dehydrogenation reactions with the formation of unsaturated hydrocarbons and in the Sonogashira cross-homocombination reaction) and static catalysis (in electrocatalytic processes used in the creation of enzyme-free microbiosensors for human blood components) are given. The prospect of possible application of the laser catalytic dehydrogenation process in hydrogen power engineering is proposed.
