Low-temperature combustion of methane over graphene templated Co3O4 defective-nanoplates

Abstract Transition metal oxides are the potential catalysts to replace noble-metal based catalyst for the catalytic combustion of methane due to the tolerable reactivity and low cost. However, these catalysts are challenged by the low temperature reactivity. Herein, the surface defective Co3O4 nano...
