DESCRIPTION
Green carbon cycles are critical for mitigating the negative environmental effect of carbon dioxide. A pre-proof article from the journal ISCIENCE reported the development of a highly stable and effective Cu@C/SiO2 nanocatalyst for the hydrogenation process of ethylene carbonate (EC), wherein Cu nanoparticles were enclosed by graphitic carbon overlayers produced from sorbitol.
