A new type of catalyst that uses five times less platinum than usual could help make hydrogen production more affordable in the future. Hydrogen generated by splitting water molecules with electricity ...
Platinum is a key industrial catalyst because its electronic structure gives it an exceptional ability to accelerate oxidation and hydrogenation chemical reactions. Among its uses are in catalytic ...
Platinum costs roughly $31,000 per kilogram. Iron costs less than a dollar. That price gap has haunted the hydrogen fuel-cell ...
A new technique to trap clusters of platinum atoms in nanoscale islands could lead to more efficient catalysts for the chemical industry. Noble metals such as platinum can make useful catalysts to ...
Scientists are finding new ways to replace expensive, scarce platinum catalysts with something far more abundant: tungsten carbide. By carefully controlling how tungsten carbide’s atoms are arranged ...
