A new type of catalyst—a material that speeds up chemical reactions—that could make the production of clean hydrogen fuel ...

Researchers demonstrate a chemical reaction produced through an intermediary created by a separate chemical reaction, findings that could impact environmental remediation and fuel production. A ...

“Although sodium borohydride has been investigated extensively as a high-capacity hydrogen-storage material that can be used ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Photocatalysis—a chemical reaction driven by light in the presence of a photocatalyst—is poised to play a key role in next-generation technologies, including hydrogen production ...

One key route for controlling reaction selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis is to prepare catalysts that exhibit only specific types of sites required for desired product formation. Here we show ...

Electric fields arise spontaneously at the surface of solid catalysts immersed in liquids, and this common yet largely overlooked phenomenon directly affects the rates of a large class of reactions.

TPU researchers together with their colleagues have synthesized a new catalyst to process carbon dioxide and methane into ...

Researchers at the Institute of Chemistry, CAS, have developed a light-driven catalytic system based on Au/NiCo2O4 ...

Plastics are valued for their durability, but that quality also makes them difficult to break down. Tiny pieces of debris ...

Researchers have created an iron catalyst that can facilitate important chemical reactions in place of the current catalyst, which is made from precious metals. A catalyst is a key ingredient for many ...

The Ullmann reaction is one of the oldest reactions in organometallic chemistry. It is one of the most widely used ...
