A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but it's costly and carbon-intensive. Now, a serendipitous collaboration between ...

Researchers at ETH have used nuclear magnetic resonance to find out what other atoms are bound to the platinum atoms in a single-atom catalyst and where they are spatially located. The precise ...

The coordination environments of different platinum atoms in single-atom catalysts have been measured by researchers in ...

SLAC and University of California, Davis, researchers have developed software to determine more quantitative information about the active site of a single atom catalyst. MS-QuantEXAFS calculates the ...

In a recent article, researchers presented an iridium single-atom catalyst coordinated with cobalt–iron hydroxides, showing enhanced performance for oxygen evolution reactions (OER). This catalyst ...

News Single-Atom Editing of Heterocycles Catalyzed with Light October 11, 2024 Heterocycles, molecular rings found in many pharmaceuticals, have a reputation for stubbornly resisting modification.

A quick comparison reveals why single-atom catalysts have created so much curiosity. In nanoscale form, 50 nm of palladium costs around $37 to occupy a region of around 250 m 2. At the surface, only ...

As a result, we have achieved a record-breaking power density among all zinc-air batteries previously made with single-atom catalysts,” further stated Dr Kuc. Journal Reference Wang, X., et al. (2022) ...

A new method to anchor single atoms of platinum-group metals on nanometer-sized islands allows for efficient use of these expensive metals as catalysts for a wide variety of applications. Reporting in ...

However, the synthesis of single-atom-kernelled nanocluster is difficult, especially when the kernel atoms are relative active metal atom such as silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) due to the stability issue ...
