Abstract
X-ray nanochemistry is a new discipline that has been researched for nearly two decades. It is formally named in 2012. X-ray nanochemistry studies how to use nanomaterials to increase the effectiveness of X-ray radiation. An example is to use an X-ray scintillating nanoparticles to absorb X-rays and emit UV-Vis photons and then use dye molecules to resonantly absorb the photons and generate reactive oxygen species. Another example is to use gold nanoparticles as catalysts to increase the conversion efficiency of radical intermediates produced by X-ray irradiation. In this talk, the overall field of X-ray nanochemistry is reviewed, including basic concepts and applications, which include catalysis, biology, and medicine.
