Ethanol Dehydrogenation to Acetaldehyde over Co@N-Doped Carbon

Cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbon materials (Co@CN) have recently attracted significant attention as highly efficient noble-metal-free catalysts exhibiting a large application range. In a similar research interest, and taking into account the ever-increasing importance of bioethanol as a renewable...

Ethanol Dehydrogenation to Acetaldehyde over Co@N-Doped Carbon
description Cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbon materials (Co@CN) have recently attracted significant attention as highly efficient noble-metal-free catalysts exhibiting a large application range.
