The formation of MNPs was considered to be due to high concentration of TEAB and occurrence of limiting Ostwald ripening at low temperature. The MNPs exhibited not only higher catalytic activity at low temperature for selective catalytic reduction of NOx but also higher catalytic activity and longer lifetime for disproportionation of toluene than conventional MOR(cMOR) bulk crystals.展开更多

Enantiopure CCNTs were prepared by carbonization of the self-assembled chiral polypyrrole nanotubes according to our previous report. Ag ions could be easily introduced into the chiral pores of CCNTs due to the capillary phenomenon. After hydrogen reduction, the optically active CAg NWs formed inside the channels of the CCNTs. The helical channels in the CCNTs played a predominant effect on the chiral formation of the CAg NWs. This system provides new insight into the fabrication as well as the study of optical activity(OA) of chiral inorganic nanomaterials. Such novel chiral inorganic material will bring new opportunities in non-linear optics, biosensors and chiral recognition.展开更多
