CuO nanosheets were prepared by the controlled delamination of layered copper hydroxide acetate followed by the in situ solvothermal transformation of hydroxide to oxide. The reaction was performed in 1-butanol in order to prevent recrystallization or nanoparticle aggregation. Analyses by small angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy revealed that the CuO nanosheets are approximately 1 nm thin, corresponding to three to four stacked CuO6 octahedral layers. The average lateral size is approximately 5 nm. The nanosheets form stable dispersions in 1-butanol that are suitable for the fabrication of transparent and homogeneous CuO thin films by spin-coating or inkjet printing techniques. The present synthesis is a rare example of the top down strategy leading to the nanometric two-dimensional nanosheets of non-layered oxide materials.

In this work, we have ultrasonically deposited Cu and Pd nanoparticles on BiS nanoparticles, prepared using an ultrasonication assisted hydrothermal method. We implemented intense ultrasonic waves bearing frequency of 20 kHz and power of 750 W at the acoustic wavelength of 100 mm to reduce Cu and Pd nanoparticles on the BiS surface. The XRD confirmed the formation of highly crystalline BiS nanoparticles with a pure orthorhombic phase and the deposition of copper (Cu) and palladium (Pd) nanoparticles was indicated by the strengthening and broadening of the peaks.

Electrochemically reducing CO (CORR) to high-value chemical products is recognized as a promising route to simultaneously reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and carbon emission. The fabrication of syngas with an appropriate H/CO ratio by CORR has been widely studied, but the dynamic evolution of the catalyst is still ambiguous. Herein, the reconstruction of CuO/SnO nanosheets (NSs) with a heterojunction structure in the CORR process was reported by an in situ X-ray diffractometer technique.

Herein, novel nanocomposites based on reduced graphene oxide decorated copper oxide nanoparticles (rGO/CuO) were prepared by the in situ co-precipitation method. The structural, morphological, and optical characterization of as-prepared nanocomposites was performed by powdered x-ray diffraction (p-XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), Raman, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, respectively. The as-prepared nanocomposites exhibited better photocatalytic activity of rhodamine B dye with maximum ~94% degradation in 120 min with a rate constant of 0.

Catalytic conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) is a crucial approach to enhance the redox kinetics and suppress the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, the roles of a typical heterogenous catalyst cannot be easily identified due to its structural complexity. Compared with the distinct sites of single atom catalysts (SACs), each active site of single site catalysts (SSCs) is identical and uniform in their spatial energy, binding mode, and coordination sphere, etc.
