Front Cover: Investigation on the Growth Mechanism of Cu 2 MoS 4 Nanotube, Nanoplate and its use as a Catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution in Water (Chem. Asian J. 12/2020)

It is about Nanomagics. Under ambient conditions, Cu+, NH4+ and [MoS4]2- self-assemble, thereby generating Cu(NH4)MoS4 nanorods. Upon hydrothermal treatment, these nanorods experience a selective corrosion where their core is dissolved, thus generating Cu2MoS4 nanotubes. Thus, from Cu+, NH4+ and [MoS4]2-, Cu2MoS4 nanotubes are generated by two mantras: Congregamini (Latin word meaning Assemble) and Ustherugo (created by putting USTH, which stands for the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi, together with Erugo which is a Latin word meaning Corrosion).
