Platinum meets its match in quantum dots from coal
Houston TX (SPX) Oct 03, 2014 - Graphene quantum dots created at Rice University grab onto graphene platelets like barnacles attach themselves to the hull of a boat. But these dots enhance the properties of the mothership, making them better than platinum catalysts for certain reactions within fuel cells. The Rice lab of chemist James Tour created dots known as GQDs from coal last year and have now combined these nanosca ... more
