Ag–Cu nanoalloys were synthesized by chemical co-reduction of their metal salts in
aqueous solution with hydrazine hydrate, in the presence of complexing agent and …

Au nanoclusters possess a series of excellent properties owing to their size being
comparable to the Fermi wavelength of electrons. For example, they show excellent …

The replacement of mercuric chloride in the production of vinyl chloride monomer, a
precursor to PVC, would greatly reduce the environmental impact of this large scale …

Single-site Au species supported on carbon have been shown to be the active sites for
acetylene hydrochlorination. The evolution of these single-site species has been monitored …
