Formation of CoSi Alloy With Rich-Vacancies (Am-CoSi)

A research group headed by Prof. Kai Yan from Sun Yat-Sen University controllably fabricated a CoSi alloy with rich-vacancies (AM-CoSi) via a solvent-free arc-melting (AM) method in less than 5 minutes for solvent- and base-free selective oxidation of alcohols. The findings were reported in Chinese Journal of Catalysis.
