• Gold Catalysts Containing Interstitial Carbon Atoms Boost Hydrogenation Activity 

      Sun, Y.; Cao, Y.; Wang, , L.; Mu, , X.; Zhao, Q.; Si, , R.; Zhu, , X.; Chen, , S.; Zhang, , B.; Chen, De; Wan, Ying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Supported gold nanoparticles are emerging catalysts for heterogeneous catalytic reactions, including selective hydrogenation. The traditionally used supports such as silica do not favor the heterolytic dissociation of ...
    • Optimising surface d charge of AuPd nanoalloy catalysts for enhanced catalytic activity 

      Zhu, Xiaojuan; Qishui, Guo; Sun, Yafei; Chen, Shangjun; Wang, Jian-Qiang; Wu, Mengmeng; Fu, Wenzhao; Tang, Yanqiang; Duan, Xuezhi; Chen, De; Wan, Ying (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Understanding the catalytic mechanism of bimetallic nanocatalysts remains challenging. Here, we adopt an adsorbate mediated thermal reduction approach to yield monodispersed AuPd catalysts with continuous change of the ...
    • The Everyday Life of Boarding High School Students in China 

      Wan, Ying (Master thesis, 2012)
      The single child and their lives is a big concern in the Chinese society. This study explores the everyday life of boarding high school students on their schooling, study pressure, leisure time and other activities. I ...
    • Unleash electron transfer in C-H functionalization by mesoporous carbon-supported palladium interstitial catalysts 

      Zhao, Xiaorui; Cao, Yueqiang; Duan, Linlin; Yang, Ruoou; Jiang, Zheng; Tian, Chao; Chen, Shangjun; Duan, Xuezhi; Chen, De; Wan, Ying (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The functionalization of otherwise unreactive C–H bonds adds a new dimension to synthetic chemistry, yielding useful molecules for a range of applications. Arylation has emerged as an increasingly viable strategy for ...
