Boosting hydrogen production of uniform CuCo-ZIF nanododecahedrons by bimetal node and glycerol (2023)
Journal Article
Wang, Q., Teng, Y., Ma, B., Zhang, X., Yuan, X., Li, Z., Jiang, W., Teng, F., Ruan, W., & Ibhadon, A. O. (2023). Boosting hydrogen production of uniform CuCo-ZIF nanododecahedrons by bimetal node and glycerol. Materials Today Chemistry, 28, Article 101359. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mtchem.2022.101359

Compared with fossil fuels reforming to hydrogen, electrolytic water to hydrogen is highly energy-intensive. It is still a big challenge to decrease the cost of electrolytic water to hydrogen. Herein, we investigate the electrocatalytic activity of u... Read More about Boosting hydrogen production of uniform CuCo-ZIF nanododecahedrons by bimetal node and glycerol.

Selective hydrogenation (semi-hydrogenation) reactions of alkynes rely on Pd-based catalysts to provide the correct pathway to favour formation of double bonds and avoid full hydrogenation to single bonds. Here, we present the preparation and charact...
