Transition metal–zeolite composites are versatile catalytic materials for a wide range of
industrial and lab-scale processes. Significant advances in fabrication and characterization …

Ultrasmall metal nanoparticles (NPs) with a well-defined composition and structure, the so-
called metal nanoclusters (NCs, usually smaller than 3 nm in size), represent the forefront …

Noble metal nanoparticles or subnanometric particles confined in zeolites, that is, metal@
zeolite, represent an important type of functional materials with typical core–shell structure …

Understanding the catalytic mechanism of bimetallic nanocatalysts remains challenging.
Here, we adopt an adsorbate mediated thermal reduction approach to yield monodispersed …

Capping agents (organic ligands, polymers, surfactants, etc.) are a basic component in the
synthesis of metal nanoparticles with controlled size and well-defined shape. However, their …

Epoxides are highly useful intermediates in the production of many chemicals,
pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and polymers. In view of the continuing demand for epoxides, it …
