ChemSusChem. 2016 Feb 8;9(3):238-40. doi: 10.1002/cssc.201501609. Epub 2016 Jan 26.

Abstract

Such sweet support: Metal-polysaccharide interplay affords, after pyrolytic transformation, highly active catalysts based on anisotropically oriented nanoparticles supported on graphene sheets.

Keywords: chitosan; graphene; orientation effect; polysaccharides; pyrolysis.
