Perfect 2D Ceramic Films from Graphene Precursors
Metallized graphene inks open new directions in film patterning since dense ceramic films with the micro- and macrostructure of a graphene host were produced for the first time in Brown University
High-Performance Heterogeneous Catalyst with High Water Dispersibility
Researchers from the Suzhou Key Laboratory of Green Chemical Engineering, Soochow University, and from the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Engineering of Polymers, Fudan University, develop a one-step, solvent-free method to prepare a high-performance heterogeneous catalyst. The cobalt-based catalyst is highly dispersible in water and is effective for the tandem sodium borohydride dehydrogenation and nitrobenzene hydrogenation at room temperature.
