Propane dehydrogenation is a key industrial route to producing propylene without relying on oil. However, its current ...

Known for its allure in engagement rings, platinum is also treasured for its ability to jump-start chemical reactions. It’s an excellent catalyst, able to turn standoffish molecules into fast ...

Platinum is very effective as a catalyst (the trigger for chemical reactions) but is not widely used at industrial scale because it's expensive. Most catalysis systems involving platinum also have ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a method to recycle platinum catalysts used in the production of valuable silicone materials.

Reactions of substances are triggered or accelerated through the presence of a catalyst. It plays a major role in the manufacture of synthetic materials, acids, and other chemical products ...

Unfortunately, of all these ‘electrocatalysts’ that make the key chemical reaction ... of catalysts. So the problem so far in exploring REEs as possible alloy partners for platinum has not ...

In a paper published in the journal Science, the researchers explain that the chemical ... in on two catalysts: platinum oxide and palladium oxide. Both performed the reaction the team wanted ...

When the platinum atoms return to their starting positions, they can be used again to remake active catalytic particles. Plus, the post-reaction ... chemical reactants and metal atoms in the ...

When the platinum atoms return to their starting positions, they can be used again to remake active catalytic particles. Plus, the post-reaction fragmentation ... electronic levels of chemical ...
