Interfacing with silica boosts the catalysis of copper

Metal-support interaction plays an important role in heterogeneous catalysis, but silica has been rarely reported as an effective support to create active metal-support interfaces for promoting catalytic reactions. Here, the authors discover that Cu/SiO2 interface creates an exceptional effect to pr...
