Recent research has demonstrated that a rhodium (Rh) cluster of an optimal, intermediate size—neither too small nor too large ...

The field of catalysis, particularly in oxidation reactions, occupies a central role in modern chemistry and industrial processes. These reactions underpin energy conversion, environmental remediation ...

Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten ...

The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

Catalysis is a fundamental process in chemical science whereby a catalyst accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. By providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower ...

Plastic is everywhere. From water bottles and food containers to household items and packaging, modern life depends heavily ...

Researchers have developed a new catalyst architecture that dramatically reduces the amount of expensive precious metals ...

In a study appearing in Nature Catalysis, researchers from the Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Fritz Haber Institute ...

CHESTNUT HILL, MA (Dec. 13, 2012) – A chemical nanostructure developed by Boston College researchers behaves much like the pores of the skin, serving as a precise control for a typically stubborn ...

In a recent study published in ACS Catalysis, researchers at Chiba University unveiled a redox-adaptive strategy that allows a single homogeneous cerium catalyst to catalyze two chemically distinct ...

For the first time, chemists have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides a cost-effective and non-toxic alternative to the ruthenium and ...
