The effect of carbon nanotubes on chiral chemical reactions (2012)
Journal Article
A. Rance, G., A. Miners, S., W. Chamberlain, T., & N. Khlobystov, A. (2013). The effect of carbon nanotubes on chiral chemical reactions. Chemical Physics Letters, 557, 10-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cplett.2012.12.037

The intrinsic helicity of carbon nanotubes influences the formation of chiral molecules in chemical reactions. A racemic mixture of P and M enantiomers of nanotubes affects the enantiomeric excess of the products of the autocatalytic Soai reaction pr...

Assembly, growth, and catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles in hollow carbon nanofibers (2012)
Journal Article
La Torre, A., Giménez-López, M. D. C., Fay, M. W., Rance, G. A., Solomonsz, W. A., Chamberlain, T. W., Brown, P. D., & Khlobystov, A. N. (2012). Assembly, growth, and catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles in hollow carbon nanofibers. ACS Nano, 6(3), 2000-2007. https://doi.org/10.1021/nn300400z

Graphitized carbon nanofibers (GNFs) act as efficient templates for the growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) adsorbed on the interior (and exterior) of the tubular nanostructures. Encapsulated AuNPs are stabilized by interactions with the step-edges... Read More about Assembly, growth, and catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles in hollow carbon nanofibers.
