A series of fiber supported acid–base bifunctional catalysts (FABCs) were developed by successive grafting of acrylic acid and 4-vinylpyridine onto the polypropylene fiber (PPF). The FABCs can ...

Some of the most encouraging results for reaction-enhancing catalysts come from one material in particular: tin (Sn). While ...

Modern fertilizer manufacturing uses the Haber-Bosch and Ostwald processes to fix aerial nitrogen as ammonia, then oxidize ...

Researchers from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) of the Chinese Academy of ...

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 ...
