Curved molecules that absorb sunlight, store the energy, and re-release it as heat are pushing the boundaries in solar ...

The method has applications in organic chemistry, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry. A team of scientists has ...

A research team has successfully developed a technology that efficiently converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), an industrial raw material, by precisely controlling the interaction ...

Dynamic carburization is a common and important phenomenon in many industrial reactions. Finding the critical factor governing this process is significant for catalyst optimization, which is ...

This study presents an innovative approach to single-atom catalysts, overcoming oxidative addition challenges in cross-coupling reactions for pharmaceuticals.

But hydrogenation reactions need a catalyst—something that speeds up the reaction without being used up itself. Usually, expensive metals like platinum or palladium are used as catalysts.

ConspectusThe kinetics and thermodynamics of elementary reaction steps involved in the catalytic reduction of protons to hydrogen define the reaction landscape for catalysis. The mechanisms can differ ...

The composition of this mixture and the shape of the evolved catalysts depend heavily on the electric potential applied, the surrounding chemical environment and the reaction duration.

New ceramic catalyst uses sodium and boron to drive sustainable industrial reactions Researchers create a sodium-doped form of amorphous silicon-boron-nitride catalyst that may enable more ...

A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the ...
