04/16: Our research was featured on the CNPq website!
The group's research and recent paper published in Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, entitled "MnO2 Nanowires Decorated with Au Ultrasmall Nanoparticles for the Green Oxidation of Silanes and Hydrogen Production under Ultralow Loadings", were featured on the website from the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). The link for the material is here (portuguese only). The CNPq is an organization of the Brazilian federal government under the Ministry of Science and Technology, dedicated to the promotion of scientific and technological research and to the formation of human resources for research in the country. As the CNPq Chemistry committee decided to reject Prof. Camargo research fellowship renewal last January, having our research/publication featured on the CNPq website cover was particularly motivating!
04/16: Our research was featured in USP's campus newspaper!
Prof. Pedro Camargo was interviewed by USP's campus newspaper ("Jornal do Campus") about the group's research and recent paper published in Applied Catalysis B: Environmental entitled "MnO2 Nanowires Decorated with Au Ultrasmall Nanoparticles for the Green Oxidation of Silanes and Hydrogen Production under Ultralow Loadings." The link for the material is here (portuguese only)
