Copper-based nanomaterials and applications
Copper-based nanomaterials and applications is a research topic within Materials Chemistry. Science Explorer counts 45k research works in it since 1950. 19.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the formation, synthesis, and properties of nanocrystals and nanostructures, particularly focusing on CuO and Cu2O materials. It delves into the mechanisms such as the Kirkendall effect, diffusion processes, and template synthesis, while also investigating their applications in gas sensors, photocatalysis, solar cells, and other electronic devices.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
