The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation announced today the selection of its 2025 class of Beckman Young Investigator Awardees from U.S. colleges and universities. The awardees exemplify the ...

Every day, tons of CO₂ are released into the atmosphere, but what if we could transform it using clean energy? This is the ...

Experiments at BESSY II show that during electrolysis, the structure breaks down into ultrathin nickel sheets, exposing the ...

Heteropoly acid (HPA), as a green catalyst, seems to be more conducive to the degradation of cellulosic biomass due to its extreme acidity. HPAs can be designed in homogeneous and heterogeneous ...

The goal of carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation is to turn pollution into fuel. This process transforms CO2, one of the main ...

However, its current production processes rely heavily on precious-metal catalysts such as Pt-based materials. Developing efficient alternatives using Earth-abundant metals has remained a challenge.

10% Pd/C catalyst was prehydrogenated in 200 mL water ... 6 bar), in liquid phase by extending our selective, heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation method for the conversion of nitriles to primary ...

This breakthrough involves a new catalyst that significantly boosts the efficiency of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), a crucial process in ZABs. The development could lead to more efficient ...

The process can be more practical at higher temperatures -- between 600 and 1,000 degrees Celsius -- but current catalysts often wear out quickly or require costly precious metals. The technology ...

A single atom site refers to an active site with only one metal atom playing the main role in the catalysis process. This metal atom is usually coordinated by other atoms in the active site and ...
