Efficient catalytic reduction of methylene blue and p-Nitrophenol by CuNP/hydrochar nanocomposites synthesized from organic peel waste
Synthesis
CuNP/HC nanocomposites were synthesized via a simple, one-pot hydrothermal method (Scheme 1). The synthesis mechanism proceeded through two key stages: a) Initially, Cu2⁺ ions were uniformly anchored via coordination and chelation by…

High-entropy alloyed single-atom Pt for methanol oxidation electrocatalysis
Design and synthesis of HEASA-Pt
Rapid cooling is essential to construct HEAs. In this work, HEASA-Pt was synthesized by an in-situ Joule-heating method using carbon nanotube (CNT) films, which reached a cooling rate of over 1000 °C/s28. The CNT…
