Abstract
transfer. Consequently, such catalysts possess excellent deoxygenation activity with strong synergistic effects arising from an intimate contact between the nanoparticles and the molecular functionality.While many more efforts are still required to explore, control, and understand the chemistry of NPs@MMS catalysts fully, the currently available examples already highlight the large potential of this approach for the rational design of multifunctional catalytic systems.
