Experiments at BESSY II show that during electrolysis, the structure breaks down into ultrathin nickel sheets, exposing the active catalytic centers to the electrolyte. Hydrogen can be produced ...

Scientists show that applying an external magnetic field can precisely tune the spin state of single-atom catalysts (SACs) ...

The job of a catalyst is to ultimately speed up reactions, which could reduce an hour-long process into several minutes. It ...

Tell students that this lesson is about speeding up chemical reactions. Some reactions occur very slowly, but chemicals called catalysts can be added in order to make them hap- pen faster. Both of ...

A newly developed molecular catalyst specifically tailored for mechanochemical reaction conditions enables high-efficiency transformations at near room temperature. The first-ever molecular ...

Copper has many uses—in electrical wires, plumbing and even coins. With its abundance and relatively low price tag, copper ...

Researchers developed a new catalytic material that can be switched on and off at will - a breakthrough that could ...

Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state than the reactants. They are efficient and stable, even under challenging conditions such as high temperature or ...

This study shows that ASACs are very effective and adaptable catalysts for cross-coupling reactions, a common type of transformation in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Traditional SACs ...

Albert Award for his pioneering work with rhodium catalyst reactions. The award recognizes and encourages outstanding theoretical and experimental contributions to the science and technology of ...
