This work reports an early-stage reaction mechanism in activating CH4 by surface catalysis of nano-sized metal oxides for synthesizing porous nanographene.

Recent work for electrochemistry using a nanoporous continuous graphene material is published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. This study revealed the importance of pore volumes of conductive carbon supports with solid-state sulfur for controlling nanostructured interfaces, especially with high sulfur loading at high temperatures and at high rates.
