Selective hydrogenation of α, β-unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols is a
challenging class of reactions, yielding valuable intermediates for the production of …

Over the past two decades, microreactor technology has evolved to become a crucial
component in the development of process intensification. Microreactors have helped to …

Carbon-based nanomaterials have been widely used as catalysts or catalyst supports in the
chemical industry or for energy or environmental applications due to their fascinating …

We reported that atomically dispersed Pd on graphene can be fabricated using the atomic
layer deposition technique. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning …

1. INTRODUCTION Bulk gold, being the most stable among all metals, was for many years
considered as an inert catalyst. However, gold particles with size on the scale of nanometers …

Interest in catalysis by metal nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing dramatically, as reflected by
the large number of publications in the last five years. This field,“semi‐heterogeneous …

Catalysis by gold has rapidly become a hot topic in chemistry, with a new discovery being
made almost every week. Gold is equally effective as a heterogeneous or a homogeneous …

Gold has accompanied mankind from the very early days; no name of a chemist is
associated with the discovery of the element gold. It is probably the only chemical element …

Gold has been used for coinage, jewelry, and other arts for thousands of years due to its
stability in air. Catalytic researchers were long misled by this common sense until the …

Bulk gold is chemically inert and is generally regarded as a poor catalyst. However, when
gold is in very small particles with diameters below 10 nm and is deposited on metal oxides …
