In a significant advancement for renewable energy technologies, a new catalyst has been developed that dramatically improves ...

The device the researchers developed utilized a solid acid catalyst composed of sulfonated carbon. Cellobiose, a disaccharide, was used as a model sugar substrate to test the system. In their ...

Scientists from Peking University in China and Cardiff University in the UK have developed a new hydrogen production method ...

THE establishment of a new truth invariably evokes a number of new fallacies; the brighter the light that a new theory sheds on its proper field, the darker, and the more distorting, the shadows ...

concept marked a major advancement in catalysis, particularly in small molecule activation. An FLP is made up of a combination of two components -- one acting as a Lewis acid and the other as a ...

In a 1958 patent to Celanese (New York City), inventor Arthur W. Schnizer reported the reaction of acetaldehyde and acetic anhydride with a benzenesulfonic acid catalyst to produce vinyl acetate with ...

Upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at room ...

The pioneering findings of this study highlight the potential of this innovative material to revolutionize sustainable catalysis. More information: Shotaro Tada et al, Novel Lewis Acid‐Base ...
