Abstract

Abstract : In article number 2000521 by Zheng Chen, Chen Chen, and co‐workers, an optimized self‐templating synthesis method is developed for preparing highly crystalline hollow Cu2 O nanoboxes with relatively small sizes. The evolution process is systematically characterized and the synthesis conditions are carefully controlled. Benefiting from the unique hollow structure, Cu2 O nanoboxes can give ≈100% yield for the oxidative homocoupling reaction of terminal alkynes as heterogeneous catalysts under mild conditions.
