The Russian Science Foundation sponsored research broke into the top 5% of all scientific publications rated by Altmetric.

It is noteworthy that the article "Spatial imaging of carbon reactivity centers in Pd/C catalytic systems" was published in May 2015 in Chemical Science.

"The ZIOC chemists found a way to quickly and easily detect defects in the atomic structure of graphene. Detecting defect centers on the carbon surface provides a unique opportunity to study the reactivity of the graphene layers.

The researchers found that one square micrometers of the surface (about thousand times smaller than a human hair) can possess over 2000 reaction centers. However, the centers are not located randomly, but are well-organized across the surface.

The article "Spatial imaging of carbon reactivity centers in Pd/C catalytic systems" by E. O. Pentsak, A. S. Kashin, M. V. Polynski, K. O. Kvashnina, P. Glatzel and V. P. Ananikov was published in Chemical Science (The Journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry).
