Research of the laboratory showed that grain boundaries of graphene layers are supposed to modulate chemical interactions on carbon material surfaces. This phenomenon reveals promising prospects of applications of carbon materials' nano-sized effects in organic chemistry and catalysis.

Graphene "cut and paste" with metal nanoparticles was carried out under microwave irradiation. The study revealed unique processes occurring on the carbon layers under the influence of metal nanoparticles heated by microwave irradiation. Understanding the processes taking place in Metal/Carbon systems is crucial for development of new generation of highly efficient catalysts for organic synthesis and chemical industry. The authors described the key transformations responsible for catalyst evolution in connection with preparation of nanostructured Metal/Carbon systems.
