Graphical Abstract
Ait-stable metal–carbon core/shell structures are formed by thermal decomposition of alkyl–metal compounds.
Abstract
The thermolysis of alkyl–metal compounds under autogenic pressure, with the three metals Cd, Zn, and Al as examples, suggest that this might become a general method for preparing a composite where the metal is the core and carbon the shell. The air-stability of these composites is also demonstrated. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
