New research shows that metal-oxide catalysts can sometimes release oxygen from within their structure, enhancing chemical activity. Chemical reactions that release oxygen in the presence of a ...

Researchers demonstrate a chemical reaction produced through an intermediary created by a separate chemical reaction, findings that could impact environmental remediation and fuel production. A ...

For the first time, chemists at the University of Bonn and Lehigh University in Bethlehem (USA) have developed a titanium catalyst that makes light usable for selective chemical reactions. It provides ...

A catalyst alters the rate of a reaction, allowing it to be done at a lower temperature. Catalysts are therefore used in the chemical industry to make manufacturing processes more economical. Some ...

This new cerium-based catalyst interconverts between two oxidation states with distinct chemical properties, enabling two completely different reactions to occur in the same container. Most of the ...

A single cerium catalyst has been shown to drive two distinct reactions in one pot, enabling efficient, redox-adaptive chemical synthesis and paving the way for greener, tandem manufacturing processes ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

We can use a gas syringe to measure the reaction of metals with dilute acid. When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. We can measure the rate of the reaction ...
