Abstract
The front cover showcases Au single-atoms and clusters stabilized on nanoparticulate edge-faces-rich Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs), supported on SiO₂ or CeO₂. The catalysts demonstrate impressive activity for aerobic oxidation of alcohols and selective hydrogenation of 4-nitrostyrene. In-situ XAFS and HRTEM reveal the well-dispersed Au(0) single atoms with 1.0 wt% Au loading. The surface OH of LDH NPs effectively stabilize Au and enhances catalytic activity by basic sites of LDH. More details can be found in the Research Article by Tamao Ishida and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.202400465).
期刊介绍:
ChemPlusChem is a peer-reviewed, general chemistry journal that brings readers the very best in multidisciplinary research centering on chemistry. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
Fully comprehensive in its scope, ChemPlusChem publishes articles covering new results from at least two different aspects (subfields) of chemistry or one of chemistry and one of another scientific discipline (one chemistry topic plus another one, hence the title ChemPlusChem). All suitable submissions undergo balanced peer review by experts in the field to ensure the highest quality, originality, relevance, significance, and validity.
