Generation of hydrogen (H₂) by means of photocatalysis has been at the forefront of research since the 1970s because it can potentially fulfill the demand for this green fuel by employing abundant solar light as the only ...
A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level.
A research team studied how iridium and palladium nanoparticles can change the properties of catalysts with minor degradation and transition to an amorphous state. The team includes Skoltech and Khakassian State University ...
The sustainable production of fuels and value-added chemicals from biomass is a cornerstone of the future bioeconomy. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a platform molecule derived from lignocellulosic biomass, holds immense ...
Methyl methoxyacetate and methyl formate, two of the most important carbonyl‐containing chemicals, can be produced directly by zeolite‐catalyzed carbonylation and disproportionation of DMM, using a heterogeneous catalyst, ...
Imagine a world where industrial waste isn't just reduced, it's turned into something useful. This kind of circular economy is already in the works for carbon. Now, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed ...
Single-atom catalysts (SACs), with their excellent metal atom utilization and unique physicochemical properties, hold promise for broad applications, especially in heterogeneous catalysis and energy conversions. Essentially, ...
The environmentally harmful greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, or CO₂ for short, can be converted into valuable chemical products such as carbon monoxide (CO) or ethanol by means of electrochemical reduction—electrolysis. These ...
Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making its activation and conversion ...
Catalytic function and its efficiency play a significant role in industrial reactions, and consistent reforms are made in the methodology to enhance the large-scale synthesis of drugs, polymers, and other desired products. ...
