Identifying active surfaces for C2 decomposition relevant to the FC-CVD CNT synthesis process

Selecting for high quality carbon nanotube (CNT) growth during the floating catalyst vapour deposition (FC-CVD) synthesis process remains a challenge due to the coupling of physical and chemical phenomena inside the reactor. While there is evidence implicating C2 species as the p...

Synthesizing Colloidal Bimetallic Nanoparticles in Water Using a Dual‐Ligand Strategy

ABSTRACT Controlled aqueous synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles below 5 nm remains challenging due to reduction potential mismatches between noble and base metals, which often causes uncontrolled aggregation. Here, we propose a dual‐ligand strategy to assist the commonly used s...
