Here, we review some of the first examples of the computer-based design of solid catalysts. We introduce a number of concepts linking catalytic performance to the properties of the catalyst's ...

However, solid-state reactions occur in a very different environment than solution-based reactions. Previous studies found that palladium complex catalysts originally designed for use in solution ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes ...

A solid catalyst has been prepared in which pairs of active sites work synergistically to promote an industrial chemical reaction, and the mechanism has been determined — a breakthrough for ...

Many industrial-scale chemical processes are driven by solid catalysts consisting of tiny chunks of a noble metal such as platinum or rhodium dispersed on a solid support—often a metal oxide.

While many acid catalysts are in gas or liquid form, solid acid catalysts—which, as the word describes, is an acid in solid form—are known to be more recyclable and thus have been a point of ...
