Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201500644-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A popcorn‐like transformation of graphite oxide</bold> (GO) is reported and used to synthesize metal nanoparticle catalysts. The popping step is unique and essential, not only generating a high‐surface‐area support but also partially decomposing the metal precursors to form well‐separated metal oxide nuclei, which would further evolve into highly dispersed and uniform‐sized nanoparticles in the subsequent reduction. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2frx6tdc" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
