silver, or copper, hence being the most ductile of pure metals, but it is less malleable than gold. The metal has exceptional resistance to corrosion, is stable at high temperatures and has stable electrical properties. Platinum does oxidize, forming PtO2,...
Direct oxidation of KA oil (the mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol) toward ε-caprolactone is in high demand yet hard to implement in need of juggling the activation of both methyne C-H bond of cyclohexanol and α-C-C bond of cyclohexanone. Here w
Why gold nanoparticles are more precious than pretty gold: noble metal surface plasmon resonance and its enhancement of the radiative and nonradiative properties of nanocrystals of different shapes. Chem Soc Rev, 2006, 35: 209–217 Article Google Scholar Murphy CJ, Gole AM, Stone JW, et al....
It should be mentioned that nAu and nano-platinum have different properties in the process of catalytic oxidation. For instance, it was found that nAu particles smaller than 5 nm are more active in comparison to other noble-metal catalysts, whilst Pt particles of the same size are less ...
Net radiative forcing is affected by the presence of aerosols in the atmosphere . Aerosols can absorb or reflect radiation depending on the properties of aerosols. Dark aerosols such as soot absorb radiation and light colored aerosols such as sulphate reflect radiation. It is to be noted that the...
