Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the shape-controlled synthesis and
characterization of colloidal Au–Cu alloy nanostructures. Then we review the studies on the …

The reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by borohydride is one of the foremost
model catalytic reactions because it allows for a straightforward assessment of catalysts …

A comprehensive mechanistic framework is key to the effective utilization of model catalytic
reactions. Although the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by borohydride has emerged as one of …

Ultrafine-grained and heterostructured materials are currently of high interest due to their
