Formation of an ink-bottle-like pore structure in SBA-15 by MOCVD.

Metallorganic chemical vapor deposition is used as a simple pore-modifying method to fine tune the pore-opening size of SBA-15 materials without significant loss in pore volume and surface area.

A template-free nano-wrapping technique for the fabrication of copper hollow nanospheres smaller than 20 nm.

A new template-free "nano-wrapping" method has been developed for the fabrication of copper hollow nanospheres with the smallest size of around 15 nm and its significance is highlighted to its composition tunability of the metal encapsulated inside the copper nanoshell.

A novel heterogeneous acid-activated clay supported copper catalyst for the photobleaching and degradation of textile organic pollutant using photo-Fenton-like reaction.

Copper supported on acid-activated bentonite clay was found to be an effective catalyst for the photo degradation of Acid Black 1 at pH 3.0-8.0 without significant metal leaching.
