A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction.

The field of catalysis, particularly in oxidation reactions, occupies a central role in modern chemistry and industrial processes. These reactions underpin energy conversion, environmental remediation ...

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

At the heart of these systems is the catalyst: a highly specialized material that decomposes hydrazine within milliseconds, withstands extreme temperatures, and continues to function reliably after ...

Catalysis is a fundamental process in chemical science whereby a catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. By providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower ...

Catalysts are essential to modern industry, accelerating reactions used to produce everything from fertilizers and fuels to medicines and hydrogen energy. But until now, scientists could not directly ...

A research team has successfully designed and developed a proprietary non-precious metal oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst featuring a layered structure optimized for anion exchange membrane ...

A team led by Abigail Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that phosphines can show transition- metal-like reactivity in a light-driven reaction between amine-containing rings and ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...

In a recent study published in ACS Catalysis, researchers at Chiba University unveiled a redox-adaptive strategy that allows a single homogeneous cerium catalyst to catalyze two chemically distinct ...

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 ...
