The applications of copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanoparticles, which are based on the earth-
abundant and inexpensive copper metal, have generated a great deal of interest in recent …

Nanoparticle (NP) catalysis in liquid phase, which is usually called “soluble” NP catalysis, is
an old topic but is now well advanced due to the great progress in nano-chemistry and nano …

The activity of supported noble metal catalysts strongly depends on the particle size. The
ultimate small-size limit is the single-atom catalyst (SAC), which maximizes the catalytic …

Analogous to molecular surfactants, amphiphilic Janus particles can function as surface
active agents to stabilize emulsions. For molecular surfactants, the shape and amphiphilicity …

Hydrogenation reaction is commonly employed to reduce or saturate a molecule by adding
pairs of hydrogen atoms. Such reaction process has been applied for the production of …

Noble metal nanostructures are grown inside hollow mesoporous silica microspheres using
“ship‐in‐a‐bottle” growth. Small Au seeds are first introduced into the interior of the hollow …

In the present work, chitin microspheres were impregnated at different concentrations of
palladium salt solution to generate the precursor-Pd2+/chitin, and then a series of size …

A synthetic method to a highly efficient heterogeneous nanocatalyst, consisting of silica
nanosphere (SiO2) decorated with palladium nanoparticles (Pd–NP) that are further …

The design and development of highly efficient and long lifetime Pd-based catalysts for
hydrogenation reactions have attracted significant research interest over the past few …

Cycling instability of catalysts is a persisting challenge in heterogeneous catalysis. In this
work, we reported an effective in situ strategy for preparing ZIF-8 supported carbon …
