- Represents the output from an international collaboration with a leading group at the University of Milan. Bernareggi was a visiting ERASMUS student under West’s supervision. A novel coating technique for the deposition of coatings and nanostructures onto nano-particulate substrates, developed by West and co-workers at Manchester Metropolitan University, was used to produce enhanced photocatalytic nano-powders for use in water splitting for hydrogen fuel production. Metal clusters were successfully deposited without any transformation of the structure of the base nanoparticles. Electrochemical characterisation was conducted by the Milan group, demonstrating synergistic co-catalyst behaviour of the clusters for enhanced performance.
