CO2‐Driven Synthesis of Holey Edge‐Carboxylated Graphene for Tunable Electronic Interactions in Cu–CeO2‐Catalyzed Water‐Gas Shift Reaction

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Holey‐structured, edge‐carboxylated graphene with a controlled specific surface area was synthesized using an environmentally friendly, CO2‐activated, KOH‐free ball‐milling process. ABSTRACT Graphene, notable for its high specific surface area, is ideal for catalyst support but faces challenges under harsh thermal catalytic conditions.

Abstract We investigate the family of cross‐classified sampling designs across an arbitrary number of dimensions. We introduce a variance decomposition that enables the derivation of general asymptotic properties for these designs and the development of straightforward and asymptotically unbiased variance estimators.
