In their recent CrystEngComm paper, Zhimao Yang and co-workers from Xi’an Jiaotong University in China, tell us about the cubic CuS cages they have synthesised. These cubic cages (see image below) form high-activity nanotwinned building blocks. The group also study the significance of these copper sulfide nanotwinned structures for enhancing the catalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB). Read more in the article below – free to access until the 2nd December.
