A variety of bio-derived organic carboxylic acids are used to prepare Cu/ZrO2. In particular, salicylic acid provides superb control over the distribution of small Cu particles on t-ZrO2, which affords enhanced catalytic activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
